What Is Azee?

What Is 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.

What Is Azee Used For?

What Is Azee Used For?

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.

What Is the Mechanism of Action of Azee?

What Is the Mechanism of Action of Azee?

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.
