Azithromycin 250 mg is a prescription-only antibiotic in Australia, commonly used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, skin infections, ear infections, and some sexually transmitted infections. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and works by stopping bacteria from growing. In Australia, azithromycin is classified as a Schedule 4 medicine, meaning it must be prescribed by a qualified healthcare professional. It is important to take it exactly as directed and only for bacterial infections, as it is not effective against viruses.
