Taking Azithral-500 Tablet (Azithromycin) for a long time can upset your gut bacteria and cause persistent diarrhoea. You should stop taking the antibiotic immediately and consult your doctor to rule out any serious conditions, such as Clostridium difficile infection or antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and eat light, easily digestible foods until you are examined.
