The ATX J01FA10 code
the Pharmacological
Pharmacokinetics Azithromycin properties is quickly soaked up from digestive tract and widely distributed on all organism. Higher concentration of azithromycin in fabrics, than in plasma or serum is caused by its property of fast distribution. At reception of a single dose of 500 mg inside the maximum concentration makes 0.5 mkg/ml and is reached within 2.5 - 3 hours (= Tmax). The seeming constant volume of distribution (Vd) is about 31.1 l/kg. Elimination half-life makes 14-72 hours. The prolonged final elimination half-life is caused by big accumulation and the subsequent removal of drug from fabrics. Removal of azithromycin with bile, mainly in not changed look, is the main way of elimination. At use over a week, about 6% of the accepted dose are removed with urine in not changed look. At use of the mode of treatment of 500 mg in the first day and 250 mg daily within 4 days in cerebrospinal fluid only very low concentration (less than 0.01 mkg/ml) were found.
The pharmacodynamics
Azithromycin is derivative erythromycin and belongs to ozalid group of a subclass of makrolidny antibiotics. Azithromycin works by means of linking with a ribosome subunit 50S at sensitive microorganisms and, thereby, interferes with protein synthesis of microorganisms. Does not influence synthesis of nucleic acids.
In comparison with erythromycin azithromycin is more active concerning gram-negative microorganisms, is steadier in acidic environment of a stomach, is more slowly removed from an organism and works more for a long time, is better transferred, to a lesser extent inhibits liver R-450 cytochrome.
Зитмак® possesses a wide range of antimicrobic action. It is effective concerning many strains below the listed microorganisms as in vitro, and in clinically apparent infections:
Chlamydia pneumonia, Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Borrelia burgdorferi, Mycoplasma pneumonia, Treponema pallidum, Ureaplasma urealyticum.
Aerobic gram-positive microorganisms
of Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus pneumonia, Streptococcus pyogenes, streptococci (C, F groups, G), Viridans group streptococci.
Aerobic gram-negative microorganisms
of Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Bordatella pertussis, Campylobacter jejuni, Legionella pneumophila.
Anaerobic microorganisms
of Bacteroides bivius, Clostridium perfringes, types of Peptostreptococcus.
Cross azithromycin resistance about erythromycin - resistant gram-positive strains was noted. The majority of strains of Enterococcus faecalis and Methicillinum - resistant staphylococcus are resistant to azithromycin.
Indications
- pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, average otitis
- acute and chronic bronchitis, interstitial and alveolar
pneumonia
- the chronic migrating erythema
- an initial stage of a disease of Lyme, an ugly face, impetigo, secondary
pyodermatoses

accept the Route of administration and doses ЗИТМАК® of a tablet of 125 mg or 250 mg in 1 hour prior to food or in 2 hours after a meal once a day.
In infections of upper and lower parts of airways, infections of skin and soft tissues appoint on 500 mg/days within 3 days (a course dose – 1.5 g).
In an uncomplicated urethritis and/or a cervicitis appoint once 1 g (4 tablets on 250 mg).
In Lyme's disease (borellioza) for treatment of an initial stage (erythema migrans) appoint 1 g (4 tablets on 250 mg) in the first day and on 500 mg daily from the 2nd to the 5th day (a course dose – 3 g).
In the diseases of a stomach and duodenum associated with Helicobacter pylori ЗИТМАК® appoint 1 g (4 tablets on 250 mg) in day within 3 days as a part of combination therapy.
In case of the admission of reception of one dose of drug it is necessary to accept the passed dose as soon as possible, and the subsequent – with breaks at 24 o'clock.
Older persons and at patients with impaired renal function have no need to change a dosage.
To children 6 years are more senior it is recommended to apply the tablets ZITMAK® according to the following scheme:
Infections of upper and lower airways, skin and soft tissues - in the first day – 10mg/kg, then 4 days – on 5 mg/kg a day or on 10 mg/kg a day within 3 days (a course dose – 30 mg/kg),
In Lyme's disease: in the first day - 20 mg/kg, from the 2nd to the 5th day - 10мг/кг/сутки.
The chronic migrating erythema: the course dose of drug makes 60 mg/kg: once on 20 mg/kg – in the 1st day and 10 mg/kg – in the subsequent, from 2 to 5 days.
In the diseases of a stomach and duodenum associated with Helicobacter pylori: 20 mg/kg of body weight once within 3 days as a part of combination therapy.
Also it is recommended to apply children's dosage forms ЗИТМАК® to treatment of children: ÇêÆîÇè® 100 and ЗИТМАК® 200, powder for preparation of suspension for intake of 100 mg / 5 ml and 200 mg / 5 ml complete with the water purified.

- nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, an abdominal pain
Infrequently (& gt, 1/1000, & lt, 1/100)
- a liquid chair, a meteorism, a digestive disturbance, loss of appetite
Seldom (& gt, 1/1000, & lt, 1/100)
- a headache, dizziness, drowsiness, spasms, a dysgeusia
- thrombocytopenia
- aggression, excitement, concern, nervousness, insomnia
- paresthesias, an asthenia
- a hearing disorder, deafness and sonitus
- tachycardia, arrhythmia with ventricular tachycardia, lengthening of an interval of QT, arrhythmia of type of trembling/blinking (torsades de pointes)

- interstitial nephrite, an acute renal failure
- fatigue, convulsions
- change of taste and sense of smell
- a vaginitis, candidiasis, superinfections
- an acute anaphylaxis, including hypostasis (in rare instances leading to death)
Makrolidny antibiotics can cause pathological changes in electric activity of heart that can extend an interval of QT and to serve as the cause of cardiac arrhythmia of type of trembling/blinking (torsades de pointes).
At the patients accepting azithromycin the risk of lengthening of an interval of QT and potentially fatal torsades de pointes is increased. At the persons which had arrhythmia in the anamnesis against the background of treatment by azithromycin arrhythmia as trembling/blinking and the subsequent myocardial infarction can develop.
Contraindications
- hypersensitivity to azithromycin, erythromycin or any
antibiotic from group of macroleads
- heavy abnormal liver functions, and kidneys
- cholestatic jaundice, a liver disfuntion against the background of intake of azithromycin in the anamnesis
- children's age up to 6 years
- the I trimester of pregnancy, the lactation period
Medicinal interactions
At simultaneous use of Zitmak® with:
- the antacids containing hydroxide of aluminum and magnesium: concentration of drug
- Cimetidinum decreases: Cimetidinum use (800 mg) in two hours prior to intake of azithromycin does not influence absorption of the last
- theophylline: in therapeutic doses azithromycin moderately affects theophylline pharmacokinetics (intravenous and peroral)
- warfarin: azithromycin does not influence a prothrombin time at use of a single dose of warfarin. However use in medical practice provides attentive observation of a prothrombin time at all patients receiving simultaneous treatment by azithromycin and warfarin
- digoxin: azithromycin leads to increase in concentration of digoxin
- ergotamine or dihydroergotamine: there can be acute intoxication ergotaminovy drugs which is characterized by a peripheral vasospasm and a dizesteziya (disturbance of sensitivity)
- tetracyclines and chloramphenicol: strengthen action (synergism)
- linkozamidam: lower effect of drug
- ethanol, food: slow down and lower absorption
- Cycloserinum, indirect anticoagulants, Methylprednisolonum and felodipiny: azithromycin slows down excretion, increases concentration in blood serum and enhances toxicity
- carbamazepine, valproic acid, hexobarbital, Phenytoinum, Disopyramidum, Bromocriptinum, theophylline and other ksantinovy derivatives, oral hypoglycemic means: azithromycin, inhibiting microsomal oxidation in hepatocytes, extends elimination half-life, slows down excretion, increases concentration and toxicity.
Zidovudine: azithromycin increases concentration of an active fosforilirovanny metabolite of a zidovudine in blood. However now the clinical importance of this pharmacokinetic interaction is not clear.
Rifabutin: combined use of azithromycin and a rifabutin did not change their plasma concentration. However at the same time the neutropenia was observed, relationship of cause and effect between development of side reaction and use of this combination is not established.
Special instructions
It is necessary to observe a break of 2 h at simultaneous use of antacids and the drug Zitmak®.
At the patients receiving treatment by azithromycin serious allergic reactions, including a Quincke's disease, an anaphylaxis and dermatological reactions, such as Stephens-Johnson's syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis which can become fatal were in rare instances observed. At emergence of allergic reaction, azithromycin needs to be cancelled immediately and to begin the corresponding therapy. However symptoms of an allergy can appear again, at the termination of symptomatic therapy.
At treatment of pneumonia it was noted that azithromycin is safe and effective at treatment of the community-acquired pneumonia caused by Chlamydia pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumonia or Streptococcus pneumonia in patients suitable for oral therapy. Azithromycin should not be applied at patients with pneumonia to whom oral therapy is inexpedient proceeding from weight of pneumonia, that is at average or heavy severity or if is available some of the listed risk factors:
- patients with cystous fibrosis
- patients with intrahospital infections
- patients with suspicion or the revealed bacteremia
- the patients needing hospitalization
- the elderly or weakened patients, in a condition of the expressed immunodeficiency and a functional aspleniya.
About cases of pseudomembranous colitis from easy to life-threatening degree it is reported at use of almost all antibacterial agents including azithromycin. In the diarrhea which followed after intake of antibacterial agent, all suspected antibiotics need to be cancelled with co-administration of means for elimination of dehydration and correction of water and electrolytic balance. It is necessary to appoint the causal treatment directed to S.'s extermination to difficile in intestines and, if necessary, to consider the indication for surgical treatment.
Because azithromycin, mainly, is removed through a liver, it is necessary to be careful at use of azithromycin for patients with insufficiency of functions of a liver. At emergence of signs and symptoms of hepatitis the intake of azithromycin has to be stopped immediately as it was reported about cases of an abnormal liver function, development of hepatitis, cholestatic jaundice, necrosis of a liver and a liver failure, including with a fatal outcome.
Owing to insufficient data at persons who have a glomerular filtration rate & lt, 10 ml/min. it is necessary to be careful when prescribing azithromycin.
As usual at any kind of antibacterial therapy, it is reasonable to examine the patient to define the consecutive infection having not bacterial origin including fungi.
With care it is appointed the patient with cardiovascular pathology. Administration of drug can provoke an arrhythmia attack (ventricular arrhythmias and lengthening of an interval of QT are possible), sudden cardiac arrest. It is necessary to appoint with care drug to patients with the inborn or acquired prolongation of an interval of QT, with disturbances of electrolytic balance, especially in the presence of a hypopotassemia and a hypomagnesiemia, with patholologically rare heart rate and also to the patients taking the antiarrhythmic drugs. The patients receiving azithromycin can have an aggravation of symptoms of a myasthenia (myasthenia gravis) or the new beginning of a myasthenic syndrome. Duration of use of drug should not exceed the terms specified in the instruction.
