COMPOSITION:
Azithromycin (500mg)DESCRIPTION:
Aziral 500mg Tablet is a broad-spectrum antibiotic containing Azithromycin (500mg) as its active ingredient. This medication is commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including those affecting the respiratory system, skin, ears, and throat.

Azithromycin's ability to concentrate in body tissues allows it to be effective for a shorter duration of therapy.
