Clinico-pharmacological group: Antibiotic macrolide - azalid.

Pharmacological action

Broad-spectrum antibiotic, a representative subgroup of macrolide antibiotics - azalidov. Communicating with the 50S subunit of ribosomes, inhibits peptidtranslokazu at the stage of translation, inhibits protein synthesis and slows the growth and multiplication of bacteria. Valid bacteriostatic, in high concentrations has a bactericidal effect. Operates on extra-and intracellular pathogens.

It is active against Gram-positive cocci: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, streptococci of groups C, F and G, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus viridans; Gram-negative bacteria: Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Legionella pneumophila, Haemophilus ducreyi, Campylobacter jejuni, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Gardnerella vaginalis; some anaerobic microorganisms: Bacteroides bivius, Clostridium perfringens, Peptostreptococcus spp., as well as Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Treponema pallidum, Borrelia burgdoferi.

Azithromycin is not active against gram-positive bacteria resistant to erythromycin.

Pharmacokinetics

Absorption

After taking the drug inside azithromycin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, due to its stability in acidic medium and lipophilicity. After oral administration of 500 mg of azithromycin Cmax in plasma is achieved through 2.5-3 h and is 0.4 mg / liter.

Bioavailability - 37%. Acceptance of the drug along with diet slows down and reduces the absorption of azithromycin.

Distribution

Azithromycin well into the respiratory tract, organs and tissues of the urogenital tract (in particular, in the prostate gland), in skin and soft tissue. The high concentration in tissues (10-50 times higher than in blood plasma) and a long T1 / 2 due to low binding of azithromycin from plasma proteins, as well as its ability to penetrate into eukaryotic cells and concentrate in an environment with low pH, environmental lysosomes. This, in turn, defines a large apparent Vd (31.1 L / kg) and high plasma clearance. The ability of azithromycin to accumulate mainly in lysosomes is particularly important for elimination of intracellular pathogens. Shown that phagocytes deliver azithromycin to the localization of infection sites, where it is released during phagocytosis. The concentration of azithromycin in the foci of infection was significantly higher than in healthy tissues (on average 24-34%) and correlated with the degree of inflammatory edema. Despite the high concentration in phagocytes, azithromycin did not significantly affect their function.

Azithromycin remains in bactericidal concentrations of inflammation within 5-7 days after receiving the last dose, which allowed the development of short (3-day and 5-day) courses of treatment.

Metabolism

In the liver azithromycin demethylates formed metabolites are inactive.

Withdrawal

Withdrawal of azithromycin from plasma takes place in 2 stages: T1 / 2 is 14-20 hours in the range of 8 to 24 hours after taking the drug and 41 hours - in the range of 24 to 72 hours to allow the use a drug once a day.

Hypersensitivity to macrolide antibiotics.

With care use in patients with arrhythmias (ventricular arrhythmias may be, the elongation range QT), in children with severe disorders of the liver or kidneys.

Pregnancy and lactation

Use of the drug during pregnancy is possible only when the intended benefits to the mother outweighs the potential risk to the fetus. When necessary use during lactation should resolve the issue of termination of breastfeeding.

Application for violations of liver function

The drug is contraindicated in severe liver problems.

Application for violations of renal function

The drug is contraindicated in severe renal dysfunction.

Cautions

Azitroks should not be taken with food. In the case of missing next meal missed dose should be taken as quickly as possible, and follow - with an interval of 24 h.

Must comply with a break of at least 2 hours between doses Azitroksa and antacid drugs. After discontinuation of treatment hypersensitivity reactions in some patients may persist, which requires specific therapy under medical supervision.

Overdose

Symptoms: when using the drug in high doses may be increased side effects - severe nausea, temporary hearing loss, vomiting, diarrhea. Treatment: gastric lavage, the appointment of activated carbon, conducting symptomatic therapy.

Drug Interactions

Antacids (aluminum and magnesium), ethanol and food slow down and reduce the absorption of azithromycin. With simultaneous use of azithromycin with digoxin observed an increased concentration of the latter. In case of simultaneous appointment of warfarin and azithromycin (at normal doses) changes prothrombin time is not revealed, but given that the interaction of macrolides and warfarin may be increased anticoagulation effect, patients need careful monitoring prothrombin time. With the simultaneous use of azithromycin with ergotamine and dihydroergotamine increasing their toxicity (vasospasm, dysesthesia).

With simultaneous use of azithromycin with triazolamom decreases clearance and increases the pharmacological effect triazolama.

Azithromycin inhibits microsomal oxidation in hepatocytes and therefore slows the excretion and increases plasma concentration and toxicity of cycloserine, indirect anticoagulants, methylprednisolone, felodipina, as well as preparations exposed to microsomal oxidation (carbamazepine, terfenadin, cyclosporine, geksobarbital, ergot alkaloids, valproic acid, dizopiramid, bromocriptine, phenytoin, oral hypoglycemic funds, xanthine derivatives, including theophylline). Linkozaminy reduce the effectiveness of azithromycin. Tetracycline and chloramphenicol enhance the effectiveness of azithromycin.

Pharmaceutical incompatibilities

Azithromycin pharmaceutically incompatible with heparin.

Terms and Conditions of storage
