Overview

Pharmaniaga Zithrolide 250mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Azithromycin 250mg (as azithromycin dihydrate). It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Pharmaniaga Zithrolide 250mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Pharmaniaga Zithrolide 250mg Tablet once daily, at about the same time each day. Azithromycin tablets can generally be taken with or without food, although taking it with a light meal may help reduce stomach upset for some people; follow your doctor’s or pharmacist’s specific advice for your product.

Dosage

The dose and duration of Pharmaniaga Zithrolide 250mg Tablet depend on the type and severity of infection being treated, but a common adult regimen is 500mg once daily for 3 days, or an initial higher dose followed by a lower daily dose for a set number of days. Always complete the full course exactly as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better before finishing it.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Side Effects

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Diarrhoea
  • Stomach pain
  • Headache
  • Dizziness
  • Mild skin rash
  • Changes in taste or appetite

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to azithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics (e.g. erythromycin, clarithromycin)
  • History of jaundice or liver problems associated with previous azithromycin use
  • Caution required in patients with a known heart rhythm abnormality (QT prolongation) or on other medicines that affect heart rhythm
  • Caution required in patients with significant liver impairment

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Antacids containing aluminium or magnesium can reduce azithromycin absorption if taken at the same time – space doses several hours apart
  • Warfarin’s blood-thinning effect may be enhanced, requiring closer INR monitoring
  • Other medicines that prolong the QT interval (e.g. certain antiarrhythmics) may increase the risk of serious heart rhythm problems when combined
  • Ergot derivatives should be avoided with macrolide antibiotics due to the risk of ergotism

Quick Tips

  • Complete the full course of antibiotics exactly as prescribed, even if you start to feel better
  • Take at the same time each day to maintain steady drug levels
  • Space out antacids from your azithromycin dose to avoid reduced absorption
  • Contact your doctor if diarrhoea is severe, watery, or bloody, as this could indicate a more serious bowel condition
  • Do not share this antibiotic with anyone else, and do not use leftover doses for a different illness
  • Tell your doctor if you have a known heart rhythm problem before starting this medicine
