Hi,

Azithral 500 mg contains azithromycin that belongs to the group of antibiotic medications known as macrolides is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections like pneumonia, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, infections of eye, ear or nose, enteric fever and many more. But like other medications this medication has some side effects of its own.

It may cause a serious drug reaction which may affect many parts of the body and symptoms are raised body temperature or fever, rash, swollen glands, muscle pain, severe weakness, yellowing of the skin or eyes and unusual bruising. If you experience these serious side effects during taking this medication, then you should stop taking this medication immediately and inform your prescribing doctor promptly for medical help.

Again, Crocin contains acetaminophen or paracetamol that is used in the treatment of fever and various painful conditions of the body by preventing the release of prostaglandin, the chemical which is responsible for increasing body temperature and pain. On the other hand, Ambrolite D contains chlorpheniramine, dextromethorphan and phenylephrine that is used in the treatment of dry cough and allergic symptoms like sneezing, watery eyes, runny nose as well as throat irritation. Though this medication has some side effects of its own but it doesn't elevate body temperature like Crocin.

Take care. Hope I have answered your questions. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Zubayer Alam, General And Family Physician
