Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango

Product Introduction

Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango is a pediatric formulation of the antibiotic azithromycin, tailored to make administration easier and more appealing to children. The medicine is typically provided in a liquid suspension form, with a pleasant mango flavor to enhance palatability. Azithromycin, the active ingredient in Aziwok 200, belongs to a class of antibiotics known as macrolides. These antibiotics work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria by interfering with their ability to produce proteins necessary for their survival.

Each bottle of Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango is specifically dosed to contain 200mg of azithromycin per 5ml of the suspension. This precise concentration allows for easier dosing accuracy according to the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. The medication is commonly prescribed to treat a variety of bacterial infections, particularly those occurring in the ears, lungs, skin, and throat.

Uses of Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango

Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango is primarily used for the treatment of various bacterial infections that are common in children. These include:

• Respiratory Infections: Effective in treating bacterial infections of the lower and upper respiratory tract, including bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, and sinusitis.
• Ear Infections: Commonly used to treat otitis media, which is an infection of the middle ear.
• Skin Infections: Helps in managing common skin infections such as impetigo and cellulitis.
• Throat Infections: Useful in treating bacterial throat infections such as strep throat.

Additionally, it may also be prescribed for treating more severe bacterial infections when deemed appropriate by a healthcare provider.

Benefits of Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango

The formulation of Aziwok 200 Liquid Mango offers several benefits:

• Palatability: The mango flavor significantly enhances the taste, which can make it easier for parents to administer the medication to children.
• Convenience: The liquid form is easy to measure and administer, which is particularly useful for children who may have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules.
• Effective against Multi-drug Resistant Bacteria: Azithromycin is known for its effectiveness against a wide array of bacteria, including those resistant to other antibiotics.
• Extended Half-life: Azithromycin has a long half-life, which often allows for once-daily dosing. This can improve adherence to the treatment regimen, as it is easier for parents to follow a once-daily schedule compared to medications that require multiple doses throughout the day.
• Reduced Side Effects: As a macrolide antibiotic, azithromycin is often preferred for its lower incidence of side effects compared to other antibiotics like penicillins or fluoroquinolones.
