Azigrip Syrup is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis, acne, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. 

Azigrip Syrup contains azithromycin, which slows the growth or sometimes kills the harmful bacteria by preventing the production of proteins required by the bacteria for its survival. Azigrip Syrup does not treat a viral infection like the flu or a common cold.

Not everyone who is taking Azigrip Syrup will get these side effects. Some common side effects of Azigrip Syrup are diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. These side effects are temporary and may resolve on their own over time. However, if these side effects persist, don't hesitate to contact your doctor.

Azigrip Syrup should only be taken if advised by your doctor. It can be taken with or without food but should be consumed at a fixed time for the best results. The Azigrip Syrup should not be consumed in a dose exceeding the recommended amount to avoid unpleasant side effects. Also, the course should be completed even if you feel better.

Inform your physician if you are allergic to Azigrip Syrup, or have any history of liver problems, muscle problems, arrhythmia, or low potassium or magnesium levels.  Avoid too much exposure to sunlight as Azigrip Syrup can make your skin sensitive to sunburn. In this case, it is advisable to wear protective clothing or apply sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) when you are outdoors. Let your doctor know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before taking Azigrip Syrup.
