PHARMACOLOGY 
 
PHARMACOKINETICS 
 
Roxithromycin is a semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic. 
 
Microbiology 
Roxithromycin is bacteriostatic at low concentrations and
bactericidal at high 
concentrations. It binds to the 50S subunit of the 70S ribosome,
thereby disrupting 
bacterial protein synthesis. 
A prolonged postantibiotic effect has been observed with
roxithromycin. Whilst the 
clinical significance of this remains uncertain, it supports
the rationale for once daily 
dosing. Although clinical data have demonstrated the efficacy and
safety of once daily 
dosing in adults, these have not been demonstrated in children.
