Pharmacological action

Sun (bactericidal and bacteriostatic) action.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Pharmacodynamics

Azithromycin   refers to the azalides, the recently the synthesized group of makrolidnyh antibiotics . Getting In cage microorganism, he reacts with 50S-subjedinica 70S-ribosome, thereby stopping RNA -dependent protein production and stopping the reproduction of bacteria. Upon reaching a high concentration of azithromycin produces a bactericidal effect.

It has a wide range of antibacterial action . Sensitive organisms to azithromycin:

• gram-positive cocci   - Ruogenes Streptococcus, Streptococcus pneumonie, C, F and G group streptococci, Streptococcus agalactiae, S.viridans ;
• Staphylococcus aureus ;
• Gram negative bacteria   - Legionella pneumophila, Bordatella pertussis, Haemophilus influenzae, H. rarainfluenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, H. ducrei, B. rarapertussis, Campylobacter jejuni, Gardnerella vaginalis   (azithromycin no effect on gram-positive microorganisms that are resistant to erythromycin );
• anaerobic bacteria   - Clostridium perfringes, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Bacteroides bivius, Peptostreptococcus species , and Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamidia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum .

Pharmacokinetics

Azithromycin is rapidly adsorbed from the digestive tract. Bioavailability   It reaches 37%. The maximum concentration of azithromycin in blood achieved through 3-3, 5 hours after ingestion. The drug penetrates well into tissues respiratory   and of the genitourinary system As well as in skin and soft tissue. Antibiotic Hemomitsin accumulates in high concentrations in macrophages, which deliver it to the infectious-inflammatory center and release.

Third azithromycin is metabolized in the liver, another half displayed in its original form the composition of bile, the remaining part - in urine within three days. Period elimination half-life amounts to 14-19 hours.

Indications

Diseases of infectious-of inflammatory character:

• Respiratory and ENT ( sinusitis . sore throat . tonsillitis . pneumonia . otitis media . bronchitis ).
• Soft tissue and skin ( impetigo . mug , Secondarily infected Medicine ).
• Urinary tract ( urethritis . cervicitis ).
• Stomach and duodenum 12 associated with Helicobacter pylori   (in structure multipillar therapy).
• And Lyme disease   and scarlet fever ;

Contraindications

• Allergies   to azithromycin or another representative of the group macrolides .
• Severe liver disease, kidney disease.
• Lactation.
• Carefully: pregnancy . arrhythmia   (possible violations of ventricular rhythm and lengthening of the interval QT); children with severe changes in liver or kidney function.
• Age under 12 years old and weighing 45 kg in children (capsules, tablets and suspension dosage 200 mg) and 6 months (for suspension dosage 100 mg).
• With care given during pregnancy and arrhythmias.

Side effects

Side effects, caused by capsules:

• From the digestive tract: nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea , Vomiting, a temporary increase activity transaminases   and other liver enzymes; rarely - melena . jaundice .
• Dermatological reactions: rash .

Suspension and tablets may cause the following side effects:

• From the digestive tract: diarrhea , Vomiting, nausea, abdominal pain, flatulence, melena . jaundice Temporary increase in activity transaminases ; children - loss of appetite, constipation, gastritis .
• On the part of the cardiac system: tachycardia Pain in the chest.
• On the part of the central nervous system: pain in the head, dizziness, drowsiness; children - hyperkinesia , Anxiety, insomnia.
• With the genitourinary system: nephritis (rarely), vaginal candidiasis .
• Allergic reactions: rash,   angioedema ; children - conjunctivitis . hives .
• In very rare cases - candidiasis   oral cavity.

Instructions for use Hemomitsin

Instructions on Hemomitsin recommends taking antibiotics orally (tablets, suspension, capsules) once a day for 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal, as food intake joint Hemomitsin reduces the bioavailability of the drug.

• When infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory adult Hemomitsin prescribed dosage of 500 mg per day for three days.
• In infectious and inflammatory diseases of soft tissues and skin, and also in the initial stage Lyme disease   1 gram administered on the first day, then - 500 mg once a day from the second to the fifth day.
• In acute urethritis   or cervicitis   recommend a single 1 gram of azithromycin.
• In diseases of stomach and duodenal ulcers associated with Helicobacter pylori, take 1 gram per day for 3 days in a multicomponent composition Helicobacter therapy.
• When infectious and inflammatory diseases of the respiratory tract, skin and soft tissues of children from 12 years of drug is given at the rate of 10 mg / kg 1 time a day for 3 days, the treatment of early stage Lyme disease   - 20 mg / kg on the first day and 10 mg / kg in the second to fifth day.

Preparation of slurry

In a bottle, wherein the powder is slowly added to the cold clean water mark. Then the bottle is shaken until a homogeneous suspension. Immediately after reception Hemomitsin in slurry form necessary for child to drink a small amount pure water to swallow residues suspension in cavity mouth.

Cooperation

At simultaneous reception Azithromycin   and antacids   bioavailability first is not changed, but the concentration in the serum is reduced on average by 25%. Hemomitsin recommended one hour before or two hours after ingestion of antacids.

We know of cases of metabolic changes Digoxin   when one-time admission to macrolides . In particular, such a method with digoxin increases the concentration of azithromycin in the first plasma.

Patients taking macrolide antibiotics   with ergot derivatives, sometimes showing signs of poisoning alkaloids last. Therefore, we do not recommended to prescribe azithromycin together with its derivatives ergot.

It is recommended to be used with caution together with azithromycin cyclosporine   or theophylline , As thus possibly increase concentration latter in blood.

In patients of host azithromycin and rifabutin   at the same time may develop neutropenia.

Joint reception cisapride   azithromycin and is in some cases ventricular   and mertsatlnuyu arrhythmia .

Linkozaminy   reduce the effectiveness of azithromycin and tetracycline   and chloramphenicol   on the contrary increase.

It prohibited the simultaneous treatment with azithromycin and Heparin .

Ergotamine   and its derivatives enhance the toxicity of azithromycin can cause vasospasm, and the change of sensitivity.
