Pharmacology and Dosage Guidelines for Zimax 500 Tablet

Azithromycin’s high lipid solubility and tissue uptake are the cornerstones of Zimax 500 Tablet’s effectiveness. The tablet is readily absorbed when taken orally and has a prolonged terminal half-life of approximately 68 hours. This property allows a single large dose to maintain therapeutic levels, reducing the need for frequent administration.

  • For Sexually Transmitted Diseases: A single 1 gm dose or a regimen starting with 500 mg followed by 250 mg once daily for 2 days.

Pediatric Dosage:

  • Dose adjustments are made according to body weight, with specific guidelines provided by healthcare professionals.
  • For conditions such as typhoid fever, dosing is adjusted appropriately to ensure safety and efficacy.

In cases requiring intravenous administration, such as community-acquired pneumonia or pelvic inflammatory disease, Zimax 500 Tablet may start with 500 mg IV, transitioning to oral dosing as per clinical response. Always follow a healthcare provider’s recommendations regarding dosage and administration timing.
