AZIMAX-250 TABLET
VIAZIxx-0 (MY)_2
DESCRIPTION
Oblong,
white
film-coated
tablet,
bevel-edged,
shallow
convex with break bar on one side and ‘HOVID’ embossed
on the other side.
COMPOSITION
Each film-coated tablet contains Azithromycin 250 mg.
PHARMACODYNAMICS
Azithromycin is an azalide antibiotic, part of the macrolide
family of antibacterials. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit
of the 70S ribosome of susceptible organisms, thereby
inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis.
PHARMACOKINETICS
Following
oral
administration,
azithromycin
is
rapidly
absorbed
and
widely
distributed
throughout
the
body;
bioavailability is approximately 37%. The time taken to peak
plasma levels is 2-3 hours. The plasma terminal elimination
half-life closely reflects the tissue depletion half-life of 2 to 4
days. Protein binding varies with concentration: very low to
moderate; approximately 7% at 1 µg/mL, to 50% at 0.02 to
0.05µg/mL.
Azithromcyin concentrates intracellularly, resulting in tissue
concentrations 10 to 100 times higher than those found in
plasma or serum. Azithromcyin is highly concentrated in
phagocytes and fibroblasts. Biotransformation occurs in liver,
in which approximately 35% metabolized by demethylation.
Over 50% of the dose is eliminated through biliary excretion
as unchanged drug.
INDICATIONS
Azithromycin is indicated for the treatment of the following
infections when known or likely to be due to one or more
susceptible microorganisms:
• bronchitis
• community-acquired pneumonia
• sinusitis
• pharyngitis/tonsillitis
• otitis media
• skin and soft tissue infections
• uncomplicated
genital
infections
due
to
Chlamydia
trachomatis
CONTRAINDICATIONS
•
This medication should not be used when the patient is
hypersensitive to azithromycin or other macrolides.
•
Risk-benefit should be considered when hepatic function
impairment exists because biliary excretion is the major
route of elimination.
WARNING AND PRECAUTIONS
•
In the event of severe acute hypersensitivity reactions,
such as anaphylaxis,
