- With or without food (food may reduce stomach upset)
- For a full prescribed course, even if symptoms improve early
Common treatment patterns (examples)
Some infections: 500 mg once daily for 3 days
Sometimes: 500 mg on day 1, then 250 mg daily for 4 days
Other infections may need a different dose decided by a doctor
During treatment
- Swallow tablet with water
- Do not skip doses
- If you miss a dose, take it when remembered unless it is nearly time for the next dose
- Avoid taking it with antacids containing aluminum or magnesium at the same time, as they can affect absorption
How it helps
- For throat or chest infections, symptoms may start improving within a few days
- Finish the medicine even if you feel better, so the infection is fully treated
Use it only if prescribed for your condition. If you were given Azomax for a specific illness, such as a sore throat, chest infection, or urine infection, tell me which one, and I can explain how the treatment works.
