Pharmacological action
Azitrox® is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It is the first representative of a new subgroup of macrolide antibiotics – azalides. When creating high concentrations of inflammation in the focus, it has a bactericidal effect.
Gram-positive cocci are sensitive to azithromycin: Streptococcus pneumoniae, St. pyogenes, St. agalactiae, streptococci of CF and G groups, Staphylococcus aureus, St. Viridans gram-negative bacteria: Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Bordetella pertussis, B. parapertussis, Legionella pneumophila, H. ducrei, Campylobacter jejuni, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Gardnerella vaginalis are some anaerobic microorganisms: Bacteroides bivius, Clostridium perfringens, Peptostreptococcus spp as well as Chlamydia trachomatis, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Treponema pallidurger Borllurgerum pallidurgdum Borrellumum Borrelumdum Borrellumum Borrellumum Borrellumum Borrellumum Borreleumdum
Azithromycin is inactive against erythromycin resistant gram-positive bacteria.
Azithromycin persists in bactericidal concentrations in the focus of inflammation for 5-7 days after the last dose, which allowed the development of short (3-day and 5-day) courses of treatment.

Drug Interactions
When used together with ergot alkaloids, the risk of ergotism cannot be ruled out.
With the simultaneous use of azithromycin with warfarin, cases of increased effects of the latter have been described.
With the simultaneous use of digoxin or digitoxin with azithromycin, a significant increase in the concentration of cardiac glycosides in blood plasma and a risk of developing glycoside intoxication are possible.
With simultaneous use with disopyramide, a case of ventricular fibrillation has been described.
With simultaneous use with lovastatin, cases of rhabdomyolysis have been described.
When used concomitantly with rifabutin, the risk of developing neutropenia and leukopenia is increased.
With simultaneous use, cyclosporine metabolism is disrupted, which increases the risk of adverse and toxic reactions caused by cyclosporin.
