Azomax

Azomax film-coated caplet are indicated for the treatment of mild and moderate infection, caused by susceptible strain of the designed microorganisms in the specific conditions listed below:

Lower respiratory tract infection
Acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease due to Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, or Streptococcus pneumonia. Mild to severe community-acquired pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumonia or Haemophilus influenza, in outpatients appropriate for oral therapy.

Upper respiratory tract infection
As an alternative to first-line therapy of acute pharyngitis/tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes occurring in individuals who cannot use first-line therapy.

Skin and skin structure infections
Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, or Streptococcus agalactiae. Abscesses usually require surgical drainage.

Sexually-transmitted disease
Non-gonococcal urethritis and cervicitis due to Chlamydia trachomatis. Azithromycin, at the recommended dose, should not be relied upon to treat gonorrhea or syphilis. Antimicrobial agents used in high doses for short periods of time to treat non-gonococcal urethritis may mask or delay the symptoms of incubating gonorrhea or syphilis. All patients with sexually-transmitted urethritis or cervicitis should have a serologic test for syphilis and appropriate cultures for gonorrhea performed at the time of diagnosis. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy and follow-up tests for these diseases should be initiated if infection is confirmed.

Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment to determine the causative organism and its susceptibility to azithromycin. Therapy with azithromycin may be initiated before results of these tests are known; once the results become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted accordingly.
