    J.01.F.A.07   Josamycin

    Pharmacodynamics:

    Antibacterial drug from the group of macrolides. The mechanism of action is associated with a violation of protein synthesis in the microbial cell due to reversible binding to the 508 subunit of the ribosome. In therapeutic concentrations, as a rule, has a bacteriostatic effect, slowing the growth and multiplication of bacteria.When creating high concentrations in the focus of inflammation, a bactericidal effect is possible.

    Josamycin active at respect gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus spp., at t.h. methicillin-sensitive strains Staphylococcus aureus), Streptococcus spp., at t.h. Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcus pneumoniae, Corynebacterium diphtheriae, Listeria monocytogenes, Propionibacterium acnes, Bacillus anthracis, Clostridium spp. Peptococcus spp., Peptostrep-tococcus spp.), gram-negative bacteria (Neisseria meningitidis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Bordetella spp. Brucella spp., Legionella spp., Haemophilus ducreyi, Haemophilus influenzae, Helicobacter pylori, Campylobacter jejuni), sensitivity Bacteroides fragilis can be variable), Chlamydia spp., at t.h. FROM. trachomatis, Chlamydophila spp., at t.h. Chlamydophila pneumoniae (before was called Chlamydia pneumoniae), Mycoplasma spp., at t.h. Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Mycoplasma hominis, Mycoplasma genitalium, Ureaplasma spp. Treponema pallidum, Borrelia burgdorferi.

    As a rule it is not active against enterobacteria, therefore it negatively affects the microflora of the gastrointestinal tract. In a number of cases, it remains active in the resistance to erythromycin and other 14-and 15-member macrolides (streptococci, staphylococci). Resistance to josamycin is less common than to 14-and 15-member macrolides.

    Pharmacokinetics:After oral administration josamycin quickly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract, eating does not affect bioavailability. The maximum concentration of josamycin in plasma is reached after 1 hour after administration. When taken in a dose of 1 g, the maximum concentration in the blood plasma is 2-3 μg / ml. About 15% of josamycin binds to plasma proteins. Josamycin it is well distributed in organs and tissues (with the exception of the brain), creating concentrations exceeding the plasma concentration and remaining at the therapeutic level for a long time. Especially high concentrations josamycin creates in the lungs, tonsils, saliva, sweat and tear fluid. The concentration in the sputum exceeds the concentration in the plasma by 8-9 times. Passes the placental barrier, is secreted into breast milk. Josamycin Meta-bolziruetsya in the liver to less active metabolites and excreted mainly with bile. The half-life of the drug is 1-2 hours, but it can lengthen in patients with impaired liver function. Excretion of the drug by the kidneys does not exceed 10%.

    Pregnancy and lactation:Allowed use during pregnancy and during breastfeeding after medical evaluation of benefit / risk. The WHO European Office recommends josamycin as a drug of choice in the treatment of chlamydial infection in pregnant women.
    Dosing and Administration:
    The recommended daily dosage for adults and adolescents over the age of 14 years is 1 to 2 g of josamycin. The daily dose should be divided into 2-3 doses. If necessary, the dose may be increased to 3 g per day.
    Children aged 1 year have an average body weight of 10 kg.
    The daily dosage for children with a body weight of at least 10 kg is prescribed based on a calculation of 40-50 mg / kg of body weight daily, divided into 2-3 receptions: for children with a body weight of 10-20 kg, the drug is administered at 250-500 mg 1 / 4-1 / 2 tablets dissolved in water) 2 times a day, for children with a body weight of 20-40 kg, the drug is administered at 500 mg-1000 mg (1/2 tablet -1 tablet dissolved in water) 2 times per day, more than 40 kg - 1000 mg (1 tablet) 2 times a day. Usually the duration of treatment is determined by the doctor, ranging from 5 to 21 days, depending on the nature and severity of the infection. In accordance with the recommendations of the WHO, the duration of treatment of streptococcal tonsillitis should be at least 10 days.
    In the anti-Helicobacter therapy josamycin is prescribed in a dose of 1 g 2 times a day for 7-14 days in combination with other drugs in their standard dosages (famotidine 40 mg / day or ranitidine 150 mg 2 r / day + josamycin 1 g 2 r / day + metronidazole 500 mg 2 r / day; omeprazole 20 mg (or lansoprazole 30 mg, or pantoprazole 40 mg, or esomeprazole 20 mg, or rabeprazole 20 mg) 2 p / day + amoxicillin 1 g 2 r / day + josamycin 1 g 2 r / day; omeprazole 20 mg (or lansoprazole 30 mg, or pantoprazole 40 mg, or esomeprazole 20 mg, or rabeprazole 20 mg) 2 p / day + amoxicillin 1 g 2 r / day + josamycin 1 g 2 r / day + bismuth tricalcium dicitrate 240 mg2 p / day: famotidine 40 mg / day + furazolidone 100 mg 2 r / day + josamycin 1 g 2 r / day + bismuth tricalcium dicitrate 240 mg 2 r / day).
    In the presence of atrophy of the gastric mucosa with achlorhydria, confirmed at pH-metry: Amoxicillin 1 g 2 r / day + josamycin 1 g 2 r / day + bismuth tricalcium dicitrate 240 mg 2 r / day.
    In the case of common and globular acne, it is recommended that josamycin at a dose of 500 mg twice daily for the first 2-4 weeks, then 500 mg of josamycin once a day as maintenance treatment for 8 weeks.

    From the gastrointestinal tract

    Often - discomfort in the stomach, nausea

    Infrequent - abdominal discomfort, vomiting, diarrhea

    Other: very rarely - purpura

    Overdose:To date, there is no evidence of specific symptoms of an overdose. In case of an overdose, the symptoms described in the "Side Effects" section should be expected, especially from the gastrointestinal tract.
    Interaction:

    - other antibiotics

    Since bacteriostatic antibiotics in vitro can reduce the antimicrobial effect of bactericidal, joint use should be avoided. Josamycin It should not be administered together with lincosamides, as there may be a mutual decrease in their effectiveness.

    - xanthines

    Some representatives of the macrolide group slow down the elimination of xanthines (theophylline), which can lead to the appearance of signs of intoxication. Clinical and experimental studies indicate that josamycin has less effect on the elimination of theophylline than other macrolides.

    - antihistamines

    With the joint administration of josamycin and antihistamines containing terfenadine or astemizole, may increase the risk of life-threatening arrhythmias.

    - alkaloids of ergot

    There are some reports of increased vasoconstriction after co-administration of ergot alkaloids and antibiotics from the macrolide group, including a single observation with jozamycin.

    - ciclosporin

    The joint administration of josamycin and cyclosporine can cause an increase in the level of cyclosporine in the blood plasma and increase the risk of nephrotoxicity. The concentration of cyclosporine in the plasma should be monitored regularly.

    - digoxin

    With the joint administration of josamycin and digoxin, an increase in the level of the latter in the blood plasma is possible.

    Special instructions:
    In the case of persistent severe diarrhea, one should keep in mind the possibility of developing a pseudomembranous colitis dangerous for life against the background of josamycin.
    In patients with renal insufficiency treatment should be conducted taking into account the results of appropriate laboratory tests (determination of the clearance of endogenous creatinine).
    Consideration should be given to the possibility of cross-resistance to various antibiotics from the macrolide group (microorganisms resistant to treatment with antibiotic related chemical structures may also be resistant to josamycin).
