Azithromycin 250 mg tablets in blister packs (also known as Z-Pak) belong to a class of antibiotics called macrolides. Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which is necessary for bacteria to grow and multiply. This is achieved by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of the bacterial ribosome, preventing the addition of new amino acids to the growing protein chain. This inhibition of protein synthesis ultimately leads to the death of the bacteria and halts the spread of infection. Azithromycin is considered a broad-spectrum antibiotic, meaning it can be effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and sexually transmitted infections. It is generally well-tolerated and has a longer duration of action compared to other antibiotics, making it an effective treatment for certain infections that require longer treatment periods.
