<p data-start="0" data-end="289">Azithromycin 500 mg is a widely used antibiotic medicine prescribed for the treatment of various bacterial infections in humans. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and works by stopping the growth of bacteria, helping the body&rsquo;s immune system eliminate the infection.Azithromycin 500 mg is commonly used to treat respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and throat infections like tonsillitis and pharyngitis. It is also effective in managing ear infections and skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria. In addition, doctors often prescribe azithromycin for certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including chlamydia, and for some urinary tract infections.Another important use of azithromycin is in treating gastrointestinal infections, such as traveler&rsquo;s diarrhea caused by specific bacteria. Due to its long half-life, azithromycin is usually taken once daily for a shorter duration compared to many other antibiotics, which improves patient compliance.Azithromycin 500 mg should always be taken as prescribed by a healthcare professional, and the full course must be completed even if symptoms improve earlier. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, stomach pain, or headache. It is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu, and misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance.
