## What is Orizee 1000 mg

Orizee 1000 mg is an antibiotic tablet for infections caused by bacteria. It contains 100 mg (1 g) of FDA-approved Azithromycin, which belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class. This prescription medicine is manufactured by Oirpil Biotech in GMP-certified facilities.

Azithromycin works by blocking bacterial protein production. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot grow, and the infection begins to settle. It is thus prescribed for throat, chest, sinus, ear, skin and soft tissue infections. It is also used to treat specific Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) like Chlamydia and Gonorrhea.

Typically, Orizee 1000 mg tablet is taken as a single dose or once daily for the prescribed duration. It can be taken on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after eating. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. But skip it and do not double up if it is almost time for the next scheduled dose.

It can cause abdominal pain, nausea, headache, vomiting or dizziness. Most side effects are mild and temporary. Contact a doctor if you experience severe Diarrhea, signs of an allergic reaction, yellowing of the skin or eyes or fainting.

Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium can affect absorption, so they should not be taken too close to Azithromycin. You should avoid Orizee if you have a history of liver disease, Hepatitis, Jaundice, Myasthenia Gravis or Arrhythmia. Use in pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should be medically supervised.

Store Orizee tablets in original packaging at room temperature below 30°C away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
