Azithromycin 250 mg is a widely prescribed antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in humans. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and works by stopping the growth of bacteria. Doctors commonly prescribe azithromycin for respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and throat infections including tonsillitis. It is also effective in treating ear infections, certain skin infections, and some sexually transmitted infections. Azithromycin 250 mg tablets are often given as part of a short treatment course, sometimes called a “Z-pack,” where a higher dose may be taken on the first day followed by lower doses for several days. Its long half-life allows it to remain active in the body even after the last dose, which helps ensure effective treatment with shorter therapy durations. This medication is generally well tolerated, but some people may experience side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, or headache. It should only be used under medical supervision, as improper use can contribute to antibiotic resistance. Azithromycin is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu. Always follow a healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
