About Azithral XL 100 Liquid
Azithral XL 100 Liquid is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis, acne, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection.
Azithral XL 100 Liquid contains azithromycin, which slows the growth or sometimes kills the harmful bacteria by preventing the production of proteins required by the bacteria for its survival. Azithral XL 100 Liquid does not treat a viral infection like the flu or a common cold.

These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.
Azithral XL 100 Liquid 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. The Azithral XL 100 Liquid should not be consumed in a dose exceeding the recommended amount to avoid unpleasant side effects. Also, the course should be completed even if you feel better.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
- It would be best to take probiotics after completing the full course of Azithral XL 100 Liquid to replenish 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.

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 consuming too many calcium-enriched foods and drinks, as it may affect the functioning of Azithral XL 100 Liquid.
