AZYTER, known generically as azithromycin, is an antibiotic medication used in the form of eye drops. It is specifically designed to treat bacterial infections of the eye, such as conjunctivitis, commonly referred to as pink eye. AZYTER works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby helping to eliminate the infection. It is known for its convenience due to its short treatment course, typically administered over three days, which is considerably shorter than the treatment duration of many other eye antibiotics. This medication is a part of the macrolide antibiotics family, which is effective against a wide range of bacteria. AZYTER is often prescribed for its effectiveness, ease of use, and the reduced regimen, making it a preferred choice for treating bacterial eye infections in both adults and children.
