1. What AzitroVis is and what it is used for
The active substance contained in this medicine is the macrolide antibiotic azithromycin. It disrupts the synthesis of proteins in the cells of different species of bacteria and thus suppresses the growth and reproduction of microorganisms that cause common diseases in humans.
AzitroVis is indicated to treat infections caused by bacteria sensitive to the activity of azithromycin, such as:
- Infections of the upper airways, such as throat infections, tonsillitis, sinusitis and ear infections
- Infections of the lower airways, such as bronchitis and different types of pneumonia
- Infections of the skin and soft tissue: first stage of Lyme disease (a tick-borne infectious disease), erysipelas (red wind), other bacterial infections of the skin.

Recommended dose – 10 mg/kg, once daily for 3 days. In case the infection of the throat is caused by a particular type of bacteria, i.e. streptococci, your doctor may decide that it is necessary taking a higher dose (20 mg/kg once daily).
