Vozan 20mg Tablet 10s
What is Vozan?
Vozan is a prescription antibiotic medicine used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains Azithromycin, a broad-spectrum macrolide antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It’s commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, skin infections, throat infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Key Uses of Vozan
Doctors may prescribe Vozan for the treatment of:
- Sore throat and tonsillitis
- Sinusitis and bronchitis
- Pneumonia and chest infections
- Skin and soft tissue infections
- Ear infections in children (otitis media)
- Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like chlamydia
- Typhoid fever in some cases
Vozan is only effective against bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like flu or common cold.
How Vozan Works
Vozan (Azithromycin) works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which stops the bacteria from multiplying and spreading in the body. It has a long half-life, allowing once-daily dosing and shorter treatment courses.
