Azithromycin Dihydrate
Ilozin contains azithromycin (as azithromycin dihydrate) in 500 mg tablets and 200 mg/5 ml oral suspension, and belongs to the macrolide (azalide) antibiotic class. It works by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit (23S rRNA) of susceptible bacteria, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and stopping bacterial growth. Ilozin is used to treat susceptible infections such as upper/lower respiratory tract infections, otitis media, skin/soft tissue infections, and Chlamydia trachomatis–associated urethritis/cervicitis.
