About Azipro 100 Syrup

Azipro 100 Syrup belongs to a group of medicines known as macrolide antibiotics. It is used to treat various respiratory system bacterial infections (like pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis), skin infections (like acne and rosacea), ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly.

Azipro 100 Syrup slows the growth or sometimes kills the harmful bacteria by preventing the production of proteins required by the bacteria for its survival. Azipro 100 Syrup does not treat a viral infection like flu or a common cold.

Azipro 100 Syrup should only be taken if advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at a fixed time for the best results.

You should consult a doctor if you have had diarrhoea for more than four days. However, do not take any anti-diarrheal medicine until your doctor tells you.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of Azipro 100 Syrup to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine's good bacteria.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking too much calcium enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Azipro 100 Syrup.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Azipro 100 Syrup as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Azipro 100 Syrup in fighting off infections.
