Azicip is derived from Erythromycin, with Azithromycin as its active component. It is prescribed for patients suffering from acute bacterial sinusitis, community-acquired pneumonia, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, acute bacterial flare-ups of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, cervicitis, urethritis, and genital ulcer diseases.
Azicip is effective against various types of infections caused by bacteria, such as ear infections, skin infections, respiratory infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Azithromycin combats bacterial infections in the human body. Additionally, Azicip is used in children for conditions like tonsillitis, strep throat, pneumonia, and middle ear infections. However, it is ineffective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.
The most frequently reported side effects related to treatment in adult patients taking Azicip were gastrointestinal issues, including diarrhea/loose stools, nausea, and abdominal pain.
Seek immediate medical assistance if you experience any signs of an allergic reaction, such as difficulty breathing, hives, or swelling in the face, tongue, lips, or throat. Discontinue Azicip and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you encounter serious side effects, including diarrhea (watery or bloody), irregular heartbeats, chest pain, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes), nausea, abdominal pain, low or high fever, severe skin reactions, sore throat, skin pain, accompanied by a red or purple rash that spreads (especially on the face or upper body) and leads to blistering and peeling.
Store Azicip at room temperature, away from children and pets, and protect it from sunlight.
