Brief summary

The investigation will be conducted for the purpose of determining the condition of occurrence of Adverse Events under the actual post-marketing use of Zithromac 600mg Tablet, verifying the therapeutic effects, detecting unknown Adverse Drug Reactions and drug interactions and determining the factors affecting safety and efficacy.

Detailed description

All the patients whom an investigator prescribes the first Zithromac Tablets 600mg should be registered consecutively until the number of subjects reaches target number in order to extract patients enrolled into the investigation at random.

Interventions

DRUGAzithromycin

Inhibition of onset: Perorally administer 1200mg of azithromycin (potency) once a week to adults. Treatment: Perorally administer 600mg of azithromycin (potency) once a day to adults.
