Dorglory 500 mg Tablet_
Dorglory contains azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat mild to moderate bacterial infections such as bronchitis, sinusitis, and skin infections.
What it is
Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria that cause infections.
What it's used for
Dorglory is used to treat mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible bacteria. These include acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, acute bacterial sinusitis, uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections, community-acquired pneumonia, pharyngitis/tonsillitis, and others.
Common side effects
The most common side effects are diarrhoea (5–14%), nausea (3–18%), abdominal pain (3–7%), and vomiting (2–7%). These usually go away on their own. If they become severe or persistent, consult your doctor.
Important cautions
Do not use Dorglory if you are allergic to azithromycin, erythromycin, or any macrolide/ketolide antibiotic. Also avoid if you have had liver problems (e.g., jaundice) after taking azithromycin before. Stop taking and seek medical help if you experience signs of a serious allergic reaction (e.g., rash, swelling, difficulty breathing), liver symptoms (e.g., yellow skin or eyes, dark urine, pale stools), or severe diarrhoea. This medicine may rarely cause heart rhythm changes (QT prolongation) or worsen myasthenia gravis. In newborns, it has been linked to a stomach muscle thickening condition (IHPS); watch for forceful vomiting and contact a doctor if it occurs.
