Bacteria spread by producing proteins for replication; Azithromycin prevents this protein production. Its work, which is centred on stopping bacteria from getting enough nutrition to grow and spread, has been approved by FDA as a proper method for treatment of bacterial infections. Zithromax exerts its effect to arrest the bacterial infection from spreading; the remaining bacteria are cleaned out by the body’s immune system.

* Note: For 250mg, please break the 500mg tab in two (the tab is made to break in 2 halves)
