About Macrotor Stat Suspension
Macrotor Stat Suspension 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.
Macrotor Stat Suspension 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. Macrotor Stat Suspension does not treat a viral infection like the flu or a common cold.
Not everyone who is taking Macrotor Stat Suspension will get these side effects. Some common side effects of Macrotor Stat Suspension are diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. 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.
Macrotor Stat Suspension 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 Macrotor Stat Suspension 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.
Inform your physician if you are allergic to Macrotor Stat Suspension, or have any history of liver problems, muscle problems, arrhythmia, or low potassium or magnesium levels.
