The coated tablets: light pink, oblong, biconvex shape. The cross-section view shows two layers: the inner layer is white or almost white.

Pharmacological action:

When creating in the focus of inflammation of high concentrations has a bactericidal effect.

Pharmacokinetics:

Stable in acid medium, lipophilic, rapidly absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract. Once inside the dose of 500 mg Cmax in plasma is 0, 4 mg/l and is reached after 2, 5-2, 96 h. Bioavailability is 37%. Well into the respiratory tract, organs and tissues of the urogenital tract (in particular, in the prostate gland), in skin and soft tissue. The concentration in tissues and cells is 10-50 times higher than in plasma, and in the foci of infection is 24-34% higher than in healthy tissues (correlates with the degree of inflammatory edema). Transported by phagocytes to the focus of infection, where it is released in the process of phagocytosis. The apparent volume of distribution of 31, 1 l/kg. High antibacterial level is maintained in the middle of inflammation within 5-7 days. Metabolized in the liver by demethylation to form inactive metabolites. Withdrawal takes place in 2 stages T1/2 is 14-20 h (in the range of 8-24 h after taking the drug) and 41 h (in the range of 24-72 h).

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.

Increases the concentration of digoxin, slows down the excretion and increases the concentration in plasma and toxicity of cyclosporine, indirect anticoagulants, methylprednisolone, felodipine, carbamazepine, terfenadine, hexobarbital, alkaloids, valproic acid, disopyramide, bromocriptine, phenytoin, oral hypoglycemic agents, theophylline and other xanthine derivatives.

Lincosamide weaken the effectiveness of tetracycline and chloramphenicol enhance. Pharmacologically incompatible with heparin.
