Azithromycin is an antibiotic commonly used to treat bacterial infections, such as respiratory infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. After taking Azithromycin Tablets 250 mg, it typically starts to work within a few hours, but noticeable improvements in symptoms may take 1 to 2 days, depending on the severity of the infection. For certain conditions, such as bacterial sinusitis or bronchitis, relief from symptoms may be felt within 48 to 72 hours. However, even if you feel better, it is essential to complete the full course of treatment to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent antibiotic resistance.
Azithromycin has a long half-life, meaning it stays in the body for an extended period, which allows for shorter treatment durations compared to other antibiotics. A standard course may last 3 to 5 days, but the medication continues to work in the body for up to a week after the last dose. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosage and treatment length to ensure optimal results and prevent the recurrence of the infection.
