    Pharmacotherapeutic group:Antibiotic - azalide
    ATX: & nbsp

    J.01.F.A.10   Azithromycin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Azithromycin is a bacteriostatic broad-spectrum antibiotic from the group of macrolides-azalides. It has a wide spectrum of antimicrobial action. The mechanism of action of azithromycin is associated with the suppression of protein synthesis of a microbial cell. Communicating with 50Sthe subunit of the ribosome, depresses peptidranslokazu at the stage of translation and suppresses protein synthesis, slowing the growth and multiplication of bacteria. In high concentrations has a bactericidal effect.

    It has activity against a number of gram-positive, gram-negative, anaerobes, intracellular and other microorganisms.

    Sensitive microorganisms:

    aerobic gram-positive microorganisms - Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-sensitive strains), Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-sensitive strains), Streptococcus pyogenes,

    aerobic gbacterial microorganisms - Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Legionella pneumophila, Moraxella catarrhalis, Pasteurella multocida, Neisseria gonorrhoeae,

    anaerobic microorganisms - Clostridium perfringens, Fusobacterium spp., Prevotella spp., Porphyriomonas spp.,

    other microorganisms - Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma hominis, Borrelia burgdorferi.

    Microorganisms with acquired resistance to azithromycin:

    Aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms - Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-resistant strains and strains with an average sensitivity to penicillin).

    Microorganisms with natural resistance:

    aerobic gram-positive microorganisms - Enterococcus faecalis, Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant strains), Staphylococcus epidermidis (methicillin-resistant strains);

    anaerobic microorganisms - Bacteroides fragilis.

    Cases of cross-resistance between Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes (beta-hemolytic group streptococcus A), Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus, including Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-resistant strains) to erythromycin, azithromycin, other macrolides and lincosamides.

    * Azithromycin was used to treat infectious diseases caused by Salmonella typhi (MIC not more than 16 mg / l) and Shigella spp..

    Pharmacokinetics:

    After oral administration, the bioavailability is 37%, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma (CmOh) is created after 2-3 hours, the volume of distribution is 31.1 l / kg. Binding to plasma proteins is inversely proportional to the concentration in the blood and is 12 to 52%. Penetrates through cell membranes (effective for infections caused by intracellular pathogens). It is transported by phagocytes, polymorphonuclear leukocytes and macrophages to the site of infection, where it is released in the presence of bacteria. Easily passes through the histohematological barriers and enters the tissues. The concentration in tissues and cells is 50 times higher than in plasma, and in the focus of infection - 24-34% more than in healthy tissues.

    Slowly removed from the tissues and has a long half-life of 2-4 days. The therapeutic concentration of azithromycin is maintained up to 5-7 days after the last dose. Azithromycin is output, basically, in the unchanged form - 50% of the intestine, 12% of the kidneys. In the liver, demethylated, losing activity.

    In patients with severe renal failure (creatinine clearance less than 10 ml / min), the half-life of azithromycin increases by 33%.

    Indications:

    Infectious and inflammatory diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to the preparation, including:

    - upper respiratory tract, including pharyngitis / tonsillitis, sinusitis, otitis media;

    - lower respiratory tract, including acute bronchitis, exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and community-acquired pneumonia;

    Overdose:

    Undesirable reactions that occur when an overdose of Sumamed ® forte are similar to those that occur when taking the recommended doses.Typical symptoms of overdose are severe nausea, temporary hearing loss, vomiting, diarrhea. Treatment: reception of activated charcoal, general symptomatic treatment, control of vital functions.

    Interaction:

    Antacid preparations

    Antacid preparations do not affect the bioavailability of azithromycin, but reduce the maximum concentration in the blood by 30%, so the drug should be taken at least one hour before or two hours after taking these drugs and food.

    Cetirizine

    Simultaneous use of azithromycin with cetirizine (20 mg) for 5 days in healthy volunteers did not lead to a pharmacokinetic interaction and a significant change in the interval QT.

    Didanosine (dideoxyinosine)

    Simultaneous use of azithromycin (1200 mg / day) and didanosine (400 mg / day) in 6 HIV-infected patients showed no change in the pharmacokinetic indications of didanosine compared with the placebo group.

    Digoxin (substrates of P-glycoprotein)

    Simultaneous use of macrolide antibiotics, including azithromycin, with P-glycoprotein substrates, such as digoxin, leads to an increase in the concentration of the P-glycoprotein substrate in the blood serum. Thus, with the simultaneous use of azithromycin and digoxin, it is necessary to take into account the possibility of increasing the concentration of digoxin in the blood serum.

    Zidovudine

    The simultaneous use of azithromycin (a single dose of 1000 mg and repeated administration of 1200 mg or 600 mg) has little effect on the pharmacokinetics, including the excretion of zidovudine or its glucuronide metabolite by the kidneys. However, the use of azithromycin caused an increase in the concentration phosphorylated zidovudine, a clinically active metabolite in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The clinical significance of this fact is unclear. Azithromycin weakly interacts with isoenzymes of the cytochrome P450 system. It was not revealed that azithromycin participates in pharmacokinetic interactions similar to erythromycin and other macrolides. Azithromycin It is not an inhibitor and inducer of cytochrome P450 isoenzymes.

    Alkaloids of ergot

    Given the theoretical possibility of the emergence of ergotism, the simultaneous use of azithromycin with derivatives of alkaloids ergot is not recommended. Pharmacokinetic studies of concurrent use azithromycin and drugs, metabolism which occurs with participation isoenzymes of the cytochrome P450 system.

    Atorvastatin

    Simultaneous use of atorvastatin (10 mg daily) and azithromycin (500 mg daily) did not cause a change in the concentrations of atorvastatin in blood plasma (based on the inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase). However, in the post-marketing period, separate reports were received on cases of rhabdomyolysis in patients receiving concomitantly azithromycin and statins.

    Carbamazepine

    In pharmacokinetic studies involving healthy volunteers, there was no significant effect on the concentration of carbamazepine and its active metabolite in blood plasma in patients receiving concomitantly azithromycin.

    Cimetidine

    In pharmacokinetic studies of the effect of a single dose of cimetidine on the pharmacokinetics of azithromycin, no changes in the pharmacokinetics of azithromycin have been observed, provided cimetidine is administered 2 hours before azithromycin.

    Anticoagulants of indirect action (coumarin derivatives)

    In pharmacokinetic studies azithromycin ns influenced the anticoagulant effect of a single dose of 15 mg of warfarin taken healthy volunteers. It was reported on the potentiation of anticoagulant effect after simultaneous use of azithromycin and anticoagulants of indirect action (coumarin derivatives). Despite the fact that a causal relationship has not been established, the need frequent monitoring of prothrombin time the use of azithromycin in patients who receive oral anticoagulants of indirect action (coumarin derivatives).

    Cyclosporin

    In a pharmacokinetic study involving healthy volunteers who within 3 days were ingested azithromycin (500 mg / day once), and then ciclosporin (10 mg / kg / day once), there was a significant increase in the maximum concentration in the blood plasma (Cmax) and the area under the "concentration-time" curve (AUC0-5) cyclosporine. It should be observed caution with the simultaneous use of these drugs. When the need for simultaneous use of these drugs, it is necessary to monitor the concentration of cyclosporine in the blood plasma and, accordingly, adjust the dose.

    Efavirenz

    Simultaneous application azithromycin (600 mg / day once) and efavirenz (400 mg / day) daily for 7 days did not cause any clinically significant pharmacokinetic interaction.

    Fluconazole

    Simultaneous use of azithromycin (1200 mg once) did not change the pharmacokinetics of fluconazole (800 mg once). The total exposure and half-life of azithromycin ns changed with simultaneous application of fluconazole, but a decrease in Cmah azithromycin (by 18%), that ns had clinical significance.

    Indinavir

    Simultaneous use of azithromycin (1200 mg once) did not cause a statistically significant effect on the pharmacokinetics of indinavir (800 mg three times daily for 5 days).

    Methylprednisolone

    Azithromycin does not significantly affect the pharmacokinetics methylprednisolone.

    Nelfinavir

    Simultaneous use of azithromycin (1200 mg) and nelfinavir (750 mg 3 times a day) causes an increase in the equilibrium concentrations of azithromycin in the blood serum. Clinically significant side effects were not observed and dosage adjustment of azithromycin in its simultaneous application with nelfinavir is not required.

    Rifabutin

    Simultaneous use of azithromycin and rifabutin does not affect the concentration of each of the drugs in the blood serum. With the simultaneous use of azithromycin and rifabutin, neutropenia was sometimes observed. Despite the fact that neutropenia was associated with the use of rifabutin, a causal relationship between the use of a combination of azithromycin and rifabutin and neutropenia has not been established.

    Sildenafil

    When used in healthy volunteers, evidence of the effect of azithromycin (500 mg / day daily for 3 days) on AUC and Cmah sildenafil or its main circulating metabolite.

    Terfenadine

    In pharmacokinetic studies, no evidence was obtained interactions between azithromycin and terfenadine. Individual cases were reported where the possibility of such interaction could not be ruled out completely, but there was not one concrete proof that such an interaction took place. It was found that the simultaneous use of terfenadine and macrolides may cause arrhythmia and lengthening of the interval QT.

    Theophylline

    No interaction between azithromycin and theophylline.

    Triazolem /midazolam

    Significant changes in pharmacokinetic parameters with the simultaneous use of azithromycin with triazolam or midazolam in therapeutic doses are not revealed.

    Trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole

    Simultaneous application trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole with azithromycin did not reveal significant impact on Cmah, total exposure or kidney excretion of trimethoprim or sulfamethoxazole. The concentrations of azithromycin in the serum corresponded to those detected in other studies.

    Special instructions:

    When using Sumamed ® forte in patients with diabetes mellitus, as well as with a low-calorie diet, it is necessary to take into account that sucrose (0.32 XE / 5 ml) is included in the suspension. If you miss one dose of Sumamed® Fort, the missed dose should be taken as soon as possible, and the subsequent dose should be taken at intervals of 24 hours.

    Sumamed® Forte should be taken at least one hour before or two hours after taking antacid preparations.

    Sumamed® Forte preparation follows take with caution in patients with impaired liver function of mild and moderate severity due to the possibility of developing fulminant hepatitis and hepaticinsufficiency of a serious degree.

    In the presence of symptoms of impairment liver function, such as rapidly accruing asthenia, jaundice, darkening of urine, tendency to bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy drug therapy Sumamed® forte should be discontinued and conduct a study of the functional state of the liver.

    For violations of kidney function: patients with GFR 10 - 80 ml / min correction of the dose is not required, therapy with Sumamed® forte should be performed with caution under the control of the state of kidney function.

    As with the use of other antibacterial drugs, with the treatment with Sumamed® Forte, patients should be regularly examined for the presence of unresponsive microorganisms and signs of development of superinfections, including fungal ones. Sumamed® forte preparation should not be used for longer courses than indicated in the instructions, since the pharmacokinetic properties azithromycin allow us to recommend a short and simple dosing regimen.

    There is no data on the possible interaction between azithromycin and derivatives of ergotamine and dihydroergotamine, but because of the development of ergotism with the simultaneous use of macrolides with derivatives of ergotamine and dihydroergotamine, this combination is not recommended.

    With long-term use of the drug Sumamed® forte, the development of pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile, both in the form of mild diarrhea, and severe colitis. With the development of antibiotic-associated diarrhea against the background of taking the drug Sumamed® Forte, and also 2 months after the end of therapy, clostridial pseudomembranous colitis. Do not use drugs that inhibit the intestinal peristalsis.

    When treating macrolides, including azithromycin, prolonged cardiac repolarization and interval QT, increasing the risk of developing cardiac arrhythmias, including arrhythmias such as "pirouettes", which can lead to cardiac arrest.

    Caution should be used when using Sumamed® forte in patients with proarrhythmogenic factors (especially in elderly patients), including congenital or acquired lengthening of the interval QT; in patients taking antiarrhythmic drugs classes IA (quinidine, procainamide), III (dofetilide, amiodarone and sotalol), cisapride, terfenadine. antipsychotic

    drugs (pimozide), antidepressants (citalopram), fluoroquinolones (moxifloxacin and levofloxacin), with disturbances of water-electrolyte balance, especially in case of hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, clinically significant bradycardia, cardiac arrhythmia or severe heart failure.
