Azee

Azee is a prescription brand of azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic. It is used to treat a range of bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, based on clinical diagnosis and local resistance patterns. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, helping the immune system eliminate the infection. Azee is available in multiple dosage forms and strengths; however, at present, only Azee 250 mg tablets are available in our pharmacy.

Azee tablets contain azithromycin, an FDA-approved antibiotic that is widely prescribed in the U.S. While the brand name Azee is marketed outside the U.S., it contains the same active ingredient and meets applicable regulatory standards as U.S.-approved azithromycin products. Azee tablets are sourced from licensed Canadian pharmacies and dispensed only with a valid prescription, ensuring safety, authenticity, and regulatory compliance.

Azee (azithromycin) is an FDA-approved macrolide antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Common indications include:

• Respiratory tract infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis
• Acute bacterial sinusitis
• Pharyngitis and tonsillitis
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Acute otitis media (middle ear infection)
• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), such as uncomplicated chlamydia, should be treated only when recommended by a provider and when first-line therapy is not appropriate
• Certain infections caused by Mycoplasma, Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus species

The choice of azithromycin should be guided by bacterial susceptibility, local resistance patterns, and current clinical guidelines.

Azee contains azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It does this by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, which blocks bacteria from making essential proteins needed for growth and reproduction. By blocking protein production inside bacterial cells, azithromycin prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying, allowing the immune system to clear the infection.

Azee (azithromycin) dosage depends on the type of infection, the patient's age, and the formulation used. Always follow your doctor’s instructions exactly.

If you are considering taking Azee for bacterial infections, follow these administration guidelines:

• Take the tablet by mouth with a full glass of water.
• Azee 250 mg may be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, take it with food.
• Pediatric doses are weight-based and determined by a healthcare provider (commonly around 10–12 mg/kg/day, depending on the infection).
• Take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body.
• Complete the full prescribed course, even if you start feeling better, to prevent antibiotic resistance.
• Do not crush or chew the 250 mg tablet unless advised by your doctor.

The following information highlights important precautions, warnings, and conditions where use may not be appropriate:

What Precautions Should Be Taken for Azee?

Before and during treatment with Azee 250 mg tablets, the following precautions should be observed:

• Use Azee only for confirmed or suspected bacterial infections.
• Inform your doctor if you have:
  • Heart disease or a history of irregular heartbeat
  • Liver or kidney disease
  • Low potassium or magnesium levels
• Take antacids containing magnesium or aluminum at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking Azee (azithromycin) to avoid reduced absorption.
• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking.
• Complete the full prescribed course to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.
• Use caution in elderly people, as they may be more sensitive to cardiac effects.

Azithromycin has been associated with serious heart rhythm disturbances in susceptible patients. Although these events are rare, they may be life-threatening in certain populations. Key FDA-recognized warnings for Azee (Azithromycin) include:

• QT interval prolongation and risk of torsades de pointes, especially in elderly patients, those with known QT prolongation, electrolyte abnormalities (low potassium or magnesium), existing cardiac disease, or concurrent use of Class IA or Class III antiarrhythmic drugs.
• Potential for severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and serious skin reactions.
• Possible liver injury, including abnormal liver function tests and hepatitis.
• Risk of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea, which may occur during or after treatment.
• Worsening of symptoms in people with myasthenia gravis.

Patients should seek immediate attention if they experience chest pain, fainting, severe diarrhea, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or an allergic reaction.

Azee 250 mg tablets should not be taken by individuals who:

• Have a history of cholestatic jaundice or hepatic dysfunction related to prior azithromycin use

Azee should be used only under close medical supervision in patients with:

• Known heart rhythm disorders
• Severe liver impairment

• If you miss a dose of Azee (azithromycin), take it as soon as you remember.

There is no specific antidote for azithromycin overdose. Treatment is supportive, focusing on symptom management & monitoring. If you suspect an Azee overdose, contact the poison control center or your healthcare provider immediately.
