Overview
Sandoz Binozyt 500mg Tablet contains azithromycin 500mg, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract, ear, nose and throat, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections. This pack contains 3 tablets, matching the standard 3-day (one tablet once daily) treatment course commonly prescribed for azithromycin.
Azithromycin binds to the bacterial ribosome and blocks protein synthesis that bacteria need to grow and multiply. Because it concentrates in tissues and is cleared slowly from the body, a short 3-day course can provide antibacterial activity for several days after the last dose.
How it Works
Azithromycin binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, blocking the machinery bacteria use to produce the proteins essential for their growth and survival. This stops bacteria from multiplying, allowing the immune system to clear the infection.
Directions for Use
Take Sandoz Binozyt 500mg Tablet once daily at the same time each day, on an empty stomach (at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal) unless your doctor advises otherwise, as food can reduce absorption. Swallow the tablet whole with water, and complete all 3 tablets of the standard 3-day course even if you start to feel better.
Dosage
The usual adult dose of Sandoz Binozyt 500mg Tablet is one 500mg tablet once daily for 3 days, matching the 3 tablets supplied in this pack for a standard 3-day course. Some indications may use a different regimen prescribed by your doctor – always complete the exact course and duration your doctor has advised.
