Abbreviated New Drug Application
AZITHROMYCIN - AZITHROMYCIN MONOHYDRATE POWDER, FOR SUSPENSION PHYSICIANS TOTAL CARE, INC. ---------- To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of azithromycin for oral suspension and other antibacterial drugs, azithromycin for oral suspension should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria. DESCRIPTION Azithromycin tablets and azithromycin for oral suspension contain the active ingredient azithromycin, an azalide, a subclass of macrolide antibiotics, for oral administration. Azithromycin has the chemical name (_2R,3S,4R,5R,8R, 10R,11R,12S,13S,14R_)-13-[(2,6-dideoxy-3-_C_-methyl-3-_O_-methyl-α-_L_-_ribo_- hexopyranosyl)oxy]-2-ethyl-3,4,10-trihydroxy-3,5,6,8,10,12,14-heptamethyl-11-[[3,4,6-trideoxy-3- (dimethylamino)-β-_D-xylo_-hexopyranosyl]oxy]-1-oxa-6-azacyclopentadecan-15-one. Azithromycin is derived from erythromycin; however, it differs chemically from erythromycin in that a methyl- substituted nitrogen atom is incorporated into the lactone ring. Its molecular formula is C H N O , and its molecular weight is 749.00.
