Azithromycin works by stopping susceptible bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow and multiply. Azeetop 100 DT contains azithromycin in a dispersible tablet formulation and is used to treat certain bacterial infections.
It may be prescribed for infections affecting the throat, ears, sinuses, chest, skin, or other tissues when the responsible bacteria are sensitive to azithromycin. It does not treat viral illnesses such as the common cold or influenza. Available pack sizes include 30, 60, 100, 200, and 300 tablets.
Uses of Azeetop 100 DT
- Treatment of certain bacterial infections of the respiratory tract
- Treatment of some ear, nose, and throat infections
- Treatment of selected skin and soft-tissue infections
- Treatment of other azithromycin-sensitive bacterial infections as prescribed
How Azeetop 100 DT Works
After it is taken, azithromycin reaches infected tissues and binds to bacterial ribosomes. These structures help bacteria produce proteins, so blocking them limits bacterial growth and allows the body’s immune system to clear the infection.
Azithromycin is an antibiotic, not an antiviral medicine. Using it for a viral infection will not improve symptoms and may contribute to antibiotic resistance. The medicine should therefore be used only for an infection diagnosed or considered likely by a healthcare professional.
How to Take Azeetop 100 DT
Take Azeetop 100 DT exactly as directed by your doctor or pharmacist. Disperse the tablet in the recommended amount of water before taking it, unless your product label gives different instructions. Follow the prescribed course and do not stop early simply because you feel better.
Do not share this medicine with another person or use leftover tablets for a later illness. If you miss a dose, follow the instructions provided with your prescription or ask a pharmacist. Tell your healthcare professional about other medicines and supplements you use.
