Brand: Highnoon Laboratories Ltd.
Active Ingredient: Azithromycin (as dihydrate) 250 mg — a macrolide class antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections.

What This Medicine Is

ZOTTER 250 mg Capsule is an antibacterial medicine that contains azithromycin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic that interferes with the ability of susceptible bacteria to grow and multiply. It is known for its long tissue persistence and convenient dosing schedule, often allowing once-daily dosing.

How It Works

Azithromycin binds to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes and inhibits protein synthesis, which slows down or stops bacterial growth. Because it accumulates well in infected tissues, it often continues to act even after doses are completed.

Common Uses

ZOTTER is prescribed for treating bacterial infections such as:

Upper and lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., bronchitis, pneumonia)
Skin and soft tissue infections
Ear infections (otitis media)
Pharyngitis and tonsillitis
It may also be used in other infections when appropriate and prescribed by a physician.

Dosage & Administration

Taken orally, usually once daily with or without food, as directed by a healthcare provider. The exact dose and duration depend on the type and severity of infection, as well as patient age and health status. Complete the full course even if symptoms improve.

Possible Side Effects

Some people may experience mild effects such as:

Gastrointestinal upset (nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain)
Headache or dizziness
Allergic reactions or skin rash
Serious side effects are rare but should be reported immediately. Discuss any new or worsening symptoms with your clinician.

Precautions

Antibiotics should only be used for bacterial infections and not for viral illnesses like the common cold or flu. Ensure proper diagnosis and prescription by a qualified healthcare professional. Inform your doctor about any other drugs you are taking to avoid interactions.

Prescription Status

ZOTTER 250 mg is a prescription-only antibiotic and should be used under medical supervision.
