Azithromycin 500 mg (marketed by Biozia Lifesciences as Azithia-500) is a trusted antibiotic that helps in the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections. It is widely prescribed by healthcare professionals because of its broad coverage, once-daily dosage, and convenient course duration.

Mechanism of Action
Azithromycin works as a macrolide antibiotic, targeting the bacterial protein synthesis process. Its mechanism of action includes:
Binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria
Blocking peptide translocation, thereby preventing bacterial protein synthesis
Acting as bacteriostatic at lower concentrations and bactericidal at higher concentrations
This dual action ensures that the bacteria are not only stopped from multiplying but are also eliminated effectively from the body. The drug’s broad-spectrum activity makes it suitable for multiple infections, reducing the risk of prolonged illness.
Dosage and Administration
Proper dosing is critical to ensure the effectiveness of Azithia-500. Below are general guidelines:
Adults:
Standard dosage: 500mg once daily for 3–5 days, depending on infection severity
For pneumonia: 500mg on day 1, followed by 250mg once daily for the next 4 days
Pediatrics:
Dose is weight-based: typically 10mg/kg on day 1, followed by 5mg/kg once daily for 4 days
Always consult a pediatrician before administration
Administration Guidelines:
Take the tablet orally, with or without food
Swallow tablets whole, do not crush or chew
Complete the full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve
Avoid self-adjusting the dose without medical guidance
Following these guidelines helps maximize the drug’s efficacy while minimizing the risk of resistance.
