Dosage:As directed by your physician (usually one tablet once daily).
Administration:Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not crush or chew.
Timing:AIM 500 can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food
may reduce the chance of stomach upset.
Azithromycin in AIM 500 works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying. By stopping the production of essential proteins, the bacteria eventually die or are cleared away by the body's immune system.
Heart Health:Inform your doctor if you have a history of heart rhythm problems (QT prolongation).
Liver Health:Use with caution if you have significant liver disease.
Allergies:Do not use if you are allergic to Azithromycin, Erythromycin, or other macrolide antibiotics.
Antacids: Do not take antacids containing aluminum or magnesium at the same time
as AIM 500, as they can reduce its absorption.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed one and continue your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Azithromycin has a very long "half-life," meaning it stays in your body tissues for several days after the last dose, continuing to kill bacteria long after you stop taking the tablets.
No. It is only effective against bacterial infections. It will not work for viral infections like the common cold or flu.
Azithromycin is generally considered safe during pregnancy, but it should only be used if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor.
