Taking Azithral-500 Tablet (Azithromycin) for a long time can upset your gut bacteria and cause persistent diarrhoea. You should stop taking the antibiotic immediately and consult your doctor to rule out any serious conditions, such as Clostridium difficile infection or antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Drink plenty of fluids to prevent dehydration and eat light, easily digestible foods until you are examined.

Can I take Azithral 500 for a throat infection while I am already taking Valprin Chrono and Frisium for epilepsy? Are there any interactions or precautions I should know about?
You should be careful before taking Azithral 500 for a throat infection while you are already taking Valprin Chrono and Frisium. In many cases, azithromycin can be used safely with epilepsy medicines, but it should only be taken if a doctor feels that an antibiotic is actually needed, because many throat infections are viral and improve without antibiotics. There is no major direct interaction between azithromycin and these epilepsy medicines in most people, but some precautions are still important. Antibiotics can occasionally affect sleep, stomach comfort, or overall body balance, which in rare situations may increase seizure risk in sensitive individuals, especially if there is high fever, dehydration, vomiting, or missed epilepsy doses. Azithromycin may also sometimes cause stomach upset, loose motions, or rarely affect heart rhythm, so it should be used carefully in people with heart problems or those taking multiple medicines. Continue taking your epilepsy medicines regularly and do not skip doses while you are unwell. Drink enough fluids, rest well, and monitor for symptoms like increased drowsiness, unusual weakness, palpitations, worsening seizures, or severe diarrhoea. If the throat pain is mild, supportive care such as warm salt-water gargles, steam inhalation, warm fluids, and paracetamol for fever or pain may be enough. It is best to consult your doctor before starting the antibiotic so the exact cause of the throat infection can be confirmed and the safest treatment can be chosen.
