1. What Azitromicina Aurovitas is and what it is used for

Azitromicina belongs to a group of antibiotics called macrolide antibiotics. Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by certain microorganisms such as bacteria.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and do not work for viral infections such as the flu or the common cold.

It is important that you follow the instructions regarding the dose, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing the treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw away medications down the drain or in the trash.

It is used for the treatment of certain infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to it, such as:

  • Chest, throat, or nasal infections (such as bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, sore throat (pharyngitis), and sinusitis).
  • Ear infections.
  • Infections of the skin and soft tissues.

Infections of the tube that carries urine from the bladder (urethra) or the neck of the womb (cervix) caused by a bacterium called Chlamydia trachomatis.

Other medications and Azitromicina Aurovitas

Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medications:

  • Antacids- used for heartburn and indigestion. Azithromycin should be taken at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after the antacid.
  • Ergotamine- dihydroergotamine (for migraine treatment) should not be taken at the same time because serious side effects can develop (ergotism - e.g., itching in the extremities, muscle spasms, and gangrene of hands and feet due to poor blood circulation).
  • Cholesterol-lowering medications(statins).
  • Warfarin or similar medications- used to prevent blood clots: concurrent use may increase the risk of bleeding.
