Azee 1000mg (Azithromycin 1 g) Tablets
Azee 1000mg packs azithromycin 1 g, a macrolide antibiotic used for certain bacterial infections. Some conditions may use a single 1 g dose; others need a short, simple course. It won’t treat colds or flu. Always take exactly as prescribed and finish the full course even if you feel better early.
