Characteristic:

Macrolide broad-spectrum antibiotic subgroups azalidov.

Pharmacokinetics:

Quickly absorbed from the digestive tract (due to its resistance to acidic medium and lipophilicity). Once inside the dose of 500 mg Modosteady 2, 5-2, 96 h and is 0, 4 mg/l. Bioavailability is 37%.

It penetrates well into the respiratory tract, organs and tissues of the urogenital tract, into the skin and soft tissues. High concentrations in tissues (10-50 times higher than in blood plasma) and a long half-life are due to low binding of azithromycin with plasma proteins, as well as its ability to penetrate eukaryotic cells and concentrate in an environment with a low pH value surrounding lysosome. This determines the large apparent volume of distribution (31, 1 l/kg) and the high plasma clearance. The ability of azithromycin to accumulate mainly in lysosomes is especially important for the elimination of intracellular pathogens. The phagocytes deliver azithromycin to the places of infection, where it is released in the process of phagocytosis. The concentration of azithromycin in the foci of infection is higher than in healthy tissues (on average 24-34%) and correlates with the degree of inflammatory edema. Despite the high concentration in phagocytes, azithromycin has no significant effect on their function.

Azithromycin is preserved in bactericidal concentrations in the focus of inflammation within 5-7 days after taking the last dose, which allowed to develop a short (three - and five-day) course of treatment.

Demetiliruetsa in the liver with formation of inactive metabolites.

Displayed in 2 stages: T1 / 2pervoy phase (in the range of 8-24 h) — 14-20 h, the second (in the range of 24-72 h) - 41 h, which allows you to take the drug once a day.

Side effect:

Capsules

From the digestive tract: nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain are rare — vomiting, flatulence, transient increase in liver enzymes.

Dermatological reactions:in some cases a rash.

Powder for the preparation of suspensions, tablets

From the digestive tract: diarrhea (5%), nausea (3%), abdominal pain (3%) dyspepsia, flatulence, vomiting, melon, cholestatic jaundice, increased liver transaminases (1% or less) in children — constipation, anorexia, gastritis.

Allergic reactions:rash, photosensitivity, angioedema.

Other: fatigue in children-conjunctivitis, itching, urticaria.

Drug interaction:

Antacids (aluminum - and magnesium-containing), ethanol and food slow down and reduce absorption. In the joint appointment of warfarin and azithromycin (in normal doses), changes in PV were not revealed, however, given that the interaction of macrolides and warfarin may increase anticoagulant effect, patients need careful control of PV.

Increases the concentration of digoxin.

Ergotamine and dihydroergotamine: increased toxicity (vasospasm, dysesthesia).

Decreases the clearance and enhances the pharmacological effect triazolama.

Slows excretion, increases concentration in plasma and toxicity zikloserina, indirect anticoagulants, methylprednisolone, felodipine, and drugs undergoing microsomal oxidation (carbamazepine, terfenadine, cyclosporine, gexobarbitala, ergot alkaloids, valproic acid, disopyramide, bromocriptine, phenytoin, oral gipoglikemicakie means, theophylline and other xantinove derivatives) — due to inhibition of microsomal oxidation in hepatocytes.

Lincosamine weaken the effectiveness of tetracycline and chloramphenicol — strengthen. Pharmacologically incompatible with heparin.

Capsules, tablets
