Viromy-250 Tablet is a highly effective macrolide antibiotic formulation containing Azithromycin 250 mg. It is designed to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by stopping the growth of bacteria and preventing them from spreading in the body. Viromy-250 is a trusted and widely prescribed antibiotic, known for its once-daily dosing, short treatment duration, and high patient compliance. It is suitable for treating respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, ear and throat infections, sexually transmitted infections (STIs), and certain gastrointestinal infections.
The tablet form ensures accurate dosing, easy administration, and convenience for patients of all age groups. Viromy-250 is particularly effective because of its high tissue penetration and prolonged half-life, which allows for a shorter course of therapy compared to many other antibiotics, improving treatment adherence.
Azithromycin 250 mg
Each tablet contains 250 mg of Azithromycin, a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic belonging to the azalide subclass.
Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is widely used in modern medicine for its ability to fight a wide range of gram-positive, gram-negative, and atypical bacteria. It is derived from erythromycin but has improved pharmacokinetics, better absorption, and enhanced tissue distribution. Azithromycin works by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria, preventing the synthesis of essential proteins needed for bacterial growth. This action stops bacterial replication and helps the immune system eliminate the infection.
Key properties:
Long half-life (approximately 68 hours), enabling once-daily dosing
Good penetration into respiratory tissues, skin, and genitourinary tract
Effective against atypical pathogens such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia trachomatis
Shorter course of treatment compared to traditional antibiotics
Viromy-250 Tablet is used in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of microorganisms, including:
Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)
Acute bronchitis and chronic bronchitis exacerbations
Sinusitis
Pharyngitis and tonsillitis
Otitis media (middle ear infection)
Laryngitis
Sinus and throat infections
Impetigo, cellulitis, folliculitis
Abscesses, boils, and wound infections
Chlamydia trachomatis infections
Gonorrhea (as part of combination therapy)
Traveler’s diarrhea caused by E. coli
Typhoid fever (in certain cases)
Mycoplasma infections
Prophylaxis of bacterial endocarditis in certain patients (as advised by doctors)
Azithromycin, the active ingredient in Viromy-250 Tablet, works by:
Binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of bacteria.
Blocking protein synthesis, which is crucial for bacterial growth and survival.
Exhibiting bacteriostatic activity (stops bacteria from multiplying) and becoming bactericidal (kills bacteria) at higher concentrations.
This mechanism helps in rapidly reducing bacterial load, controlling infection, and allowing the body’s immune system to clear the remaining bacteria.
