## What is Bactrocin 1000 mg

Bactrocin 1000 mg Tablet is a prescription medicine used for the treatment of bacterial infections. It is not useful for viral infections such as colds or flu. It contains 1000 mg of Azithromycin, which is an FDA-approved macrolide antibiotic. It is manufactured by Nexus India in GMP-compliant facilities.

Azithromycin works by stopping bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow. As bacteria stop multiplying, the infection begins to clear. That is why it is used for chest infections, throat and sinus infections, ear infections, skin infections, and some Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs).

Bactrocin 1000 mg Tablet is usually taken once a day for 3-10 days, as prescribed. Since it is a 1 g strength, your doctor may advise it in situations where a single high dose or short course is suitable. You can take it on an empty stomach, 1 hour before meals or 2 hours after eating. Antacids can affect the absorption of Azithromycin, so they should not be taken within 2 hours of your dose.

Common side effects include nausea, upset stomach, abdominal pain, vomiting, and headache. These usually improve as treatment continues. Seek medical advice if you develop severe Diarrhea, yellowing of the eyes, swelling of the face, rash with breathing difficulty, or severe dizziness.

Those with severe liver or kidney problems, Myasthenia Gravis, or a history of irregular heartbeat should avoid use. Pregnant or breastfeeding women and children should take Bactrocin tablets only under medical supervision. Inform your doctor if you take antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, Warfarin, Digoxin, Colchicine, Ciclosporin, and Statins.

Store the tablets in the original packaging at temperatures below 30°C, away from moisture and sunlight. Keep out of reach of children and pets.
