    Pharmacotherapeutic group:Antibiotic - azalide
    ATX: & nbsp

    J.01.F.A.10   Azithromycin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic of the azalide group.Reversibly binding to the 508 subunit of ribosomes of bacterial cells, disrupts the translocation of the growing polypeptide chain from the aminoacyl region to the peptidyl, which leads to suppression of protein synthesis in bacterial cells.

    Sensitive: aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms - Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-sensitive), Streptococcus pneumoniae (penicillin-sensitive), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus groups A, B, C, G; aerobic gram-negative microorganisms - Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Legionella pneumophila, Moraxella catarrhalis, Pasteurella multocida, Neisseria gonorrhoeae; anaerobic microorganisms - Clostridium perfringens, Fusobacterium spp., Prevotella spp., Porphyromonas spp.; other - Chlamydia trachomatis, Chlamydia pneumoniae, Chlamydia psittaci, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma hominis, Borrelia burgdorferi.

    Moderately sensitive or insensitive: aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms - Streptococcus pneumoniae (moderately sensitive or resistant to penicillin).

    Stable: aerobic Gram-positive microorganisms - Enterococcus faecalis,

    Staphylococcus spp. (methicillin-resistant); anaerobes: group Bacteroides fragilis. Streptococcus pneumoniae, beta-hemolytic Streptococcus spp. groups A, Enterococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains), resistant to erythromycin and other macrolides, and lincosamides are resistant to azithromycin.

    Pharmacokinetics:

    After oral administration, the bioavailability is 37%, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma (Cmax) is created in 2-3 hours, the volume of distribution is 31 l / kg.Binding to plasma proteins is inversely proportional to the concentration in the blood and is 12-52%. 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 renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance less than 10 ml / min), the half-life of azithromycin increases by 33%.

    Overdose:

    Symptoms: temporary loss of hearing, nausea and vomiting, diarrhea.

    Treatment: reception of activated carbon, maintenance of vital body functions.

    Interaction:

    Antacids reduce the maximum concentration of azithromycin by 30%, so azithromycin should be taken 1 hour before or 2 hours after taking antacids.

    The possibility of inhibiting the isoenzyme should be considered CYP3A4 azithromycin with the simultaneous use of cyclosporine, terfenadine, ergot alkaloids, cisapride, pimozide, quinidine, astemizole and other drugs whose metabolism occurs with the participation of this isoenzyme.

    When used simultaneously with cyclosporine, the concentration of cyclosporin in the blood should be monitored.

    When used simultaneously with indirect anticoagulants, the frequency of bleeding may increase, prothrombin time and the international normalized ratio (MNO) should be monitored.

    With simultaneous use with digoxin, an increase in the concentration in the blood of the latter, therefore, the concentration of digoxin in the blood should be monitored.

    With simultaneous use with ergotamine, ergotism can develop; simultaneous use is not recommended.

    Care must be taken when using terfinadine and azithromycin concomitantly, since it has been established that simultaneous administration of terfinadine and macrolides causes arrhythmia and lengthening Q-T interval. Proceeding from this, it is impossible to exclude the aforementioned complications in the joint administration of azithromycin and terfenadine.

    At simultaneous application with neofinavir it is possible to increase the incidence of adverse reactions of azithromycin (decrease in hearing, increase in activity of "liver" transaminases).

    Azithromycin increases the content of zidovudine triphosphate (an active metabolite of zidovudine) in mononuclear cells, the clinical significance of this phenomenon is unknown.

    Simultaneous use with rifabutin can lead to neutropenia.

    Azithromycin does not affect the concentration of carbamazepine, cimetidine, didanosine, efavirenz, fluconazole, indinavir, midazolam, theophylline, triazolam, trimethoprim / sulfamethoxazole, cetirizine, sildenafil, atorvastatin, rifabutin, methylprednisolone in the blood with simultaneous application.

    Special instructions:

    If you miss a dose of the drug - the missed dose should be taken as soon as possible, and the next - with interruptions of 24 hours.

    With pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes, antibiotics of choice are penicillins. The effectiveness of azithromycin for the prevention of rheumatic fever is unknown.

    Take with caution patients with liver failure (class A on the Child-Pugh scale) because of the possibility of developing fulminant hepatitis and severe hepatic insufficiency in such patients. In the presence of symptoms of liver dysfunction (rapidly increasing asthenia, jaundice, darkening of the urine, a tendency to bleeding, hepatic encephalopathy) therapy with azithromycin should be discontinued and an examination of the functional state of the liver should be carried out.

    With renal failure (CC greater than 40 ml / min), azithromycin should be administered under the control of kidney function.

    With the use of azithromycin, as well as with the use of other antibiotics, there is a risk of developing superinfection (including fungal).

    With prolonged use of azithromycin, the development of pseudomembranous colitis caused by Clostridium difficile. With the development of diarrhea against the background of taking azithromycin, and also 2 months after the end of therapy, clostridial pseudomembranous colitis should be excluded.In mild cases, it is sufficient to cancel the treatment and apply ion-exchange resins (colestramine, colestipol), in severe cases, compensation for loss of fluid, electrolytes and protein, the appointment of vancomycin, bacitracin or metronidazole is indicated. Do not use drugs that inhibit the intestinal motility.

    Since it is possible to extend the interval Q-T in patients receiving macrolides, including azithromycin, with the use of azithromycin, caution should be exercised in patients with known risk factors for lengthening the interval Q-T: old age, electrolyte balance disorder (hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia), congenital lengthening interval syndrome Q-T, heart disease (heart failure, myocardial infarction, bradycardia), simultaneous use of drugs capable of lengthening the interval Q-T (including antiarrhythmic drugs IA and III classes, tricyclic and tetracyclic antidepressants, neuroleptics, fluoroquinolones).

    With the use of azithromycin, the development of myasthenic syndrome or myasthenia exacerbation is possible.

    Effect on the ability to drive transp. cf. and fur:In case of adverse reactions from the nervous system, patients are advised to refrain from controlling the car and other mechanisms, as well as to be cautious when engaging in activities that require an increased concentration of attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
