Pharmacological properties:

Pharmacodynamics. Azithromycin is the representative of group of makrolidny antibiotics – azaleads which have a wide range of antimicrobic action. The mechanism of effect of azithromycin consists in inhibition of synthesis of bacterial protein due to linkng with the 50th S-subunit of ribosomes and prevention of a translocation of peptides in the absence of influence on synthesis of polynucleotides.

Pharmacokinetics. Bioavailability after oral administration makes about 37%. The maximum concentration in blood serum is reached in 2-3 hours after administration of drug.

At intake azithromycin is distributed on all organism. Pharmacokinetic researches showed that concentration of azithromycin in fabrics are much higher (by 50 times), than in plasma that demonstrates strong linkng of drug with fabrics.

Linkng with proteins of serum varies depending on plasma concentration and makes from 12% at 0,5 mkg/ml to 52% at 0,05 mkg/ml in serum. The estimated volume of distribution in an equilibrium state (VVss) makes 31,1 l/kg.

The final period of plasma semi-removal completely reflects an elimination half-life from fabrics within 2-4 days. About 12% of an intravenous dose of azithromycin are allocated in not changed view with urine during the next three days. Especially high concentration of not changed azithromycin are found in bile of the person. Also in bile ten metabolites which are not microbiological active are revealed.

Pharmaceutical characteristics.

Main physical and chemical properties: powder from white till yellow-white color with a characteristic smell of banana, vanilla and cherry.

The recovered suspension represents homogeneous suspension from white till light yellow color with a characteristic smell of banana, vanilla and cherry.


Indications to use:

The infections caused by the microorganisms sensitive to azithromycin:

·        infections of ENT organs (bacterial pharyngitis / tonsillitis, sinusitis, average otitis);

·        respiratory infections (bacterial bronchitis, not hospital pneumonia);

·        infections of skin and soft tissues (the migrating erythema, an initial stage of a disease of Lyme), an ugly face, impetigo, secondary pyodermatoses.


Route of administration and doses:

At infections of upper and lower respiratory tracts, skin and soft tissues (except for the chronic migrating erythema): 10 mg/kg of body weight of 1 times a day for 3 days.

Depending on the body weight of the child the following scheme of dosing is recommended:


Body weight           Daily dose
 
5                    kg 2,5 ml (50 mg)
 
6                     kg 3 ml (60 mg)
 
7                    kg 3,5 ml (70 mg)
 
8                     kg 4 ml (80 mg)
 
9                     kg 4,5 ml (90 mg)
 
10-14              kg 5 ml (100 mg)

The migrating erythema (Lyme's disease): 1 time a day for 5 days in a dose of 20 mg/kg of body weight in the 1st day, then – on 10 mg/kg of body weight from the 2nd to the 5th day.

Before use to shake up.

Азимед® appoint in the form of a single daily dose in 1 hour prior to or in 2 hours after food.

Directly after suspension reception the child needs to allow to drink several drinks of liquid to wash away and swallow the suspension remains in an oral cavity.

In case of the admission of reception of 1 dose of drug it is necessary to accept the passed dose as soon as possible, and the following – bucketed at 24 o'clock.

Renal failure.

For patients with insignificant dysfunction of kidneys (clearance of creatinine> of 40 ml/min.) there is no need to change dosing. There are no data on drug use to patients with clearance of creatinine <40 ml/min. Respectively, such patients should apply azithromycin with care.

Liver failure.

As azithromycin is metabolized in a liver and removed with bile, drug should not be used to patients with a serious illness of a liver.

Suspension preparation

Packaging contains the syringe for dosing and a spoon. The doctor will advise you to apply a spoon or the syringe. The spoon has marking of 2,5 ml and 5 ml.

By means of the syringe for dosing it is possible to measure the amount of water necessary for drug dissolution.

The bottle contains powder from which by the water addition (distilled or prokipyachenny and cooled) prepare suspension.

1. For ensuring full dosing the bottle has to contain additional 5 ml of suspension. For receiving 25 ml of homogeneous suspension it is necessary to add 11 ml of water. Press a cover of a bottle from top to bottom and turn counterclockwise.

2. From pure ware measure the corresponding amount of water and add to a bottle with drug.

3. Carefully shake up bottle contents before receiving homogeneous suspension.

Period of validity of the prepared suspension – 5 days.

Filling of the syringe with drug

1. Before use shake up suspension.

2. Press a cover from top to bottom and turn counterclockwise.

3. Ship the syringe in suspension and, extending the piston up, gain necessary amount of suspension.

4. If you noticed vials of air in the syringe, return drug to a bottle and repeat the procedure 3.

Drug use to the child

1. Arrange the child as for feeding.

2. Put a tip of the syringe in a mouth to the child and slowly force out contents.

3. Give to the child the chance to gradually swallow all quantity.

4. After administration of drug let's the child drink a little tea or juice to wash away and swallow the suspension remains in an oral cavity.

Clarification and storage

Disassemble the used syringe, wash out flowing water, dry up and you store in the dry and pure place together with drug.

After the child accepted the last dose of drug, the syringe and a bottle need to be destroyed.


Features of use:

Allergic reactions. In rare instances azithromycin causes serious allergic (seldom with a lethal outcome) reactions, such as a Quincke's disease and an anaphylaxis.

The extended cordial repolarization and interval of QT increasing risk of development of cardiac arrhythmia and a torsade de pointes of ventricles which are also observed at treatment by other makrolidny antibiotics. The similar effect of azithromycin cannot be excluded completely at patients with the increased risk of lengthening of cordial repolarization.

Streptococcal infections. Azithromycin is effective for treatment of a streptococcus in a stomatopharynx, however there are no data showing efficiency of azithromycin for prevention of acute rhematoid polyarthritis.

Superinfections. As well as at use of other antibacterial drugs, there is a possibility of superinfection (for example mycoses).

Because drug contains sucrose, patients cannot appoint it with rare hereditary syndromes of an intolerantnost to fructose, glyukozo-galaktozny malabsorption or insufficiency of sucrose-isomaltase.

Ability to influence speed of response at control of motor transport or the robot with other mechanisms.

It is applied in pediatric practice.

Interaction with other medicines:

It is necessary to appoint with care azithromycin along with other drugs which can extend QT interval.

Antacids. At simultaneous use of antacids in general changes in bioavailability of drug are not observed though plasma peak concentration of azithromycin decrease by 30%. Azithromycin needs to be taken at least for 1 h to or in 2 h after reception of an antacid.

Carbamazepine. Azithromycin does not exert considerable impact on carbamazepine level in a blood plasma or on its active metabolites.

Cyclosporine. Some makrolidny antibiotics influence cyclosporine metabolism. It is necessary to assess carefully a therapeutic situation before purpose of a concomitant use of azithromycin and cyclosporine. At expediency of a combination therapy it is necessary to carry out careful monitoring of level of cyclosporine and to respectively regulate dosing.

Coumarinic anticoagulants. Increase in a tendency to bleedings at simultaneous use of azithromycin and warfarin or cumarinesimilar peroral anticoagulants is possible. Frequent monitoring of a prothrombin time is necessary.

Digoxin. In case of simultaneous use of azithromycin and digoxin it is necessary to remember a possibility of increase in concentration of digoxin and to carry out monitoring of level of digoxin.

Terfenadin. As well as in a case with other makrolidny antibiotics, it is necessary to appoint azithromycin with care in a combination with terfenadiny.

Theophylline. Azithromycin does not influence theophylline pharmacokinetics at simultaneous use of azithromycin and theophylline. The combined use of theophylline and other makrolidny antibiotics sometimes leads to increase in level of theophylline in blood serum.

Zidovudine. Azithromycin does not influence plasma pharmacokinetics or removal with urine of a zidovudine or its glyukuronidny metabolites. However reception of azithromycin can increase concentration of a fosforilirovanny zidovudine, clinically active metabolite, in mononukleara in peripheric circulation.

Didanozin. At simultaneous use of daily doses of 1200 mg of azithromycin with didanoziny influence on pharmacokinetics of a didanozin was not revealed.

Rifabutin. Simultaneous use of azithromycin and a rifabutin does not influence plasma concentration of these drugs. The neutropenia can be observed at patients who accept at the same time azithromycin and рифабутин. Though, the neutropenia is connected using a rifabutin, a causal relationship with a concomitant use of azithromycin is not established.
