Azithromycin 500 mg
Azithromycin 500mg tablet — same 50S ribosomal binding mechanism. The 500mg tablet enables once-daily dosing as the loading dose or as the simplest possible regimen: 500mg once daily for 3 days — achieving equivalent tissue drug exposure to the 5-day 250mg course through azithromycin's 68-hour tissue half-life.
Adult community-acquired pneumonia (primary indication — 500mg once daily for 3–5 days), COPD exacerbations with atypical pathogen suspicion, moderate skin infections, and as step-down oral therapy from IV azithromycin in hospitalised patients. The 10×5 blister matches the 5-day once-daily course exactly.
Dosage and administration should be as prescribed by a qualified doctor or medical professional. Do not self-medicate. Always follow your physician's instructions regarding dose, frequency and duration of treatment.
ZOCITH™ 500 is the pulmonologist's choice for outpatient community-acquired pneumonia and COPD exacerbation management. The 500mg once-daily regimen is the simplest possible antibiotic course — one tablet per day for three days — maximising compliance in patients who are often symptomatic and elderly. The DPCO regulation ensures this critical respiratory antibiotic remains accessible at point of care.
