Dr. Bai Hongmei
Azithromycin tablets have antibacterial, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory effects, inhibit mucus secretion, and prevent recurrence of rheumatic fever.
1. Antibacterial effect: Azithromycin tablets can effectively inhibit the growth and proliferation of various bacteria by blocking bacterial protein synthesis, achieving antibacterial effects.
2. Anti-infective effect: Azithromycin tablets are used in the treatment of infectious diseases such as respiratory tract infections, urinary and reproductive tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. The medication can kill or inhibit pathogens, preventing the worsening of infections.
3. Anti-inflammatory effect: Azithromycin tablets also possess anti-inflammatory properties. While treating bacterial infections, they can reduce inflammatory responses, such as symptoms of redness, swelling, and pain, helping patients recover health more quickly.
4. Inhibition of mucus secretion: Azithromycin tablets can inhibit mucus secretion from the respiratory mucosa, helping to prevent worsening of coughing and phlegm production.
5. Prevention of rheumatic fever recurrence: Rheumatic fever is a disease caused by streptococcal infection. Azithromycin tablets can reduce the risk of recurrence of rheumatic fever by inhibiting the growth of streptococci.
During use, patients should strictly follow medical instructions and take the medication according to the prescribed dosage and duration to ensure the safety and effectiveness of the drug.
