About Azicip Tablet
Azicip Tablet is an antibiotic. It is used to treat various bacterial infections such as respiratory system (like pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis), skin infections (like acne and rosacea), ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiply very quickly.
Azicip Tablet slows the growth or sometimes kills the harmful bacteria by preventing the production of proteins required by the bacteria for its survival. Azicip Tablet does not treat a viral infection like flu or a common cold.
Azicip Tablet 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. Azicip Tablet should not be consumed more than the recommended dose, to avoid unpleasant side effects. Also, the course should be completed even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic. Some common side effects of Azicip Tablet are diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and indigestion. An allergic reaction such as rashes, itching, swelling, and shortness of breath can occur in rare cases. Please consult your doctor if an allergic reaction becomes severe.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
-
It would be best to take probiotics after taking the full course of Azicip Tablet to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can help restore the intestine’s good bacteria.
-
Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread, and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
-
Avoid taking too much calcium enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Azicip Tablet.
-
Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Azicip Tablet as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Azicip Tablet in fighting off infections.
