Pharmacological action

Azitrox is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is the first representative of a new subgroup of macrolide antibiotics - azalides. When creating high concentrations of inflammation in the focus, it has a bactericidal effect.

Gram-positive cocci are sensitive to azithromycin: Streptococcus pneumoniae, St. pyogenes, St. agalactiae, streptococci of CF and G groups, Staphylococcus aureus, St. Viridans are Gram-negative bacteria: Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, Legionella pneumophila, H. ducrei, Campylobacter jejuni, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Gardnerella microorganisms, microorganisms, microorganisms, microorganisms, pneumoniae, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Treponema pallidum, Borrelia burgdoferi. Azithromycin is inactive against gram-positive bacteria, erythromycin resistant.

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

Side effects

From the digestive system: possible nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain rarely - vomiting, flatulence, transient increase in the activity of liver enzymes.

Dermatological reactions: in some cases, a rash.

Drug Interaction

Long-term vascular spasm was observed when administered with ergotamine. Amigrenin can be prescribed no earlier than 24 hours after taking ergotamine-containing drugs.

Interaction between sumatriptan and MAO inhibitors is possible, their simultaneous use is contraindicated.

There are some reports of development of weakness, coincidentally with the simultaneous administration of clarithromycin and hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA reductase inhibitors - lovastatin and simvastatin.

There are reports of increased plasma digoxin concentrations in patients receiving both digoxin and clarithromycin tablets. In such patients, serum digoxin content should be constantly monitored to avoid digitalisoxic intoxication.

Clarithromycin may reduce the triazolam clearance and thus increase its pharmacological effects with the development of drowsiness and confusion.

Concurrent use of clarithromycin and ergotamine (ergot derivatives) can lead to acute ergotamine intoxication, manifested by severe peripheral vasospasm and perverted sensitivity. receiving both digoxin and clarithromycin tablets. In such patients, serum digoxin content should be constantly monitored to avoid digitalisoxic intoxication.

Clarithromycin may reduce the triazolam clearance and thus increase its pharmacological effects with the development of drowsiness and confusion.

Concurrent use of clarithromycin and ergotamine (ergot derivatives) can lead to acute ergotomine intoxication, manifested by severe peripheral vasospasm and perverted sensitivity.

Concurrent administration of zidovudine to HIV-infected adults orally and clarithromycin tablets may result in decreased zidovudine concentrations. Given that clarithromycin probably alters the absorption of oral zidovudine administered at the same time,

Co-administration of Azitrox with lincosamides reduces the effectiveness of azithromycin.

When administered concurrently, antacids and ethanol slow and reduce the absorption of azithromycin.

When used together, Azitrox slows excretion, increases serum concentration and increases the toxicity of cycloserine, indirect anticoagulants, methylprednisolone, and felodipine.

Azithromycin, by inhibiting microsomal oxidation in hepatocytes, prolongs T1 / 2, slows excretion, increases the concentration and toxicity of carbamazepine, ergot alkaloids, valproic acid, g

Azithromycin, by inhibiting microsomal oxidation in hepatocytes, prolongs T1 / 2, slows excretion, increases the concentration and toxicity of carbamazepine, ergot alkaloids, valproic acid, gxobarbital, phenytoin, disopyramide, bromocriptine, theophylline (and other xanthine derivatives), oral hypoglycemic agents.

Pharmaceutical Interaction

Pharmaceutically incompatible with heparin.
