Description

Azilide 200 MG Dry Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections of the nose, throat, tonsils, ear, lungs and skin, etc. It works by blocking the formation of proteins required for bacterial growth. Thus, it prevents further bacterial growth and multiplication. This medicine is only effective for bacterial infections, not for viral and other infections. Azilide 200 MG Dry Syrup may cause some common side effects such as stomach pain, diarrhoea, nausea, headache, etc. Consult your doctor if these symptoms persist or if they become severe. Avoid activities like driving vehicles and operating machines as this medicine may make you feel dizzy. Azilide 200 MG Dry Syrup can be taken with or without food, as prescribed by your doctor. Your dose will depend on the severity of your condition. Try taking this medicine at the same time every day to maintain a constant level of medicine in your body. Do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to antibiotic resistance (a condition where infection-causing organisms develop the ability to defeat the effect of drugs designed to kill them). Azilide 200 MG Dry Syrup is not recommended if you are allergic to it. Inform your doctor if you have heart, liver, or kidney disease before starting the treatment. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or are breastfeeding before taking this medicine.

Acute bacterial Sinusitis

Sinusitis is the swelling sinuses (hollow spaces inside your skull). It is often caused by bacteria and sometimes, viruses and fungi. You may experience a stuffed nose and pain or pressure behind your eyes, nose, cheeks, or forehead. Azilide 200 MG Dry Syrup is used to treat bacterial sinusitis and provides relief in three to eight weeks.

Pharyngitis/Tonsilitis

Pharyngitis and tonsillitis are infections that cause swelling and soreness in the throat and tonsils.
