Pharmacological action
Antibiotic macrolide group – azalide. It has a wide range of antimicrobial effects. It binds to the 50S subunit of the ribosome, inhibits the biosynthesis of protein microorganisms. In high concentrations it has a bactericidal effect.
Azithromycin is active against gram-positive aerobic bacteria: Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus viridans, streptococci of groups C, F and G, Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis of some gram-positive anaerobic bacteria: Clostridium perfringens.

Macrolides with simultaneous standard receiving with cycloserine, nepryam my anticoagulants, methylprednisolone, felodypynom and drugs podverhayuschymysya mykrosomalnomu oxidation (cyclosporine, heksobarbytal, alkaloyd spor ny, valproevaya acid dyzopyramyd, bromocriptine, fenytoyn, oral hypohlykemycheskye sredstva) zamedlyayut withdrawal, pov shayut concentrations and toxicity ukazann h drugs, while the use of azalides such interaction has not been observed to date.
Careful monitoring of prothrombin time is recommended when co-administered with warfarin.
The simultaneous administration of macrolides with ergotamine and dihydroergotamine may result in their toxic effect (vascular spasm, dysesthesia).
Linkosamines decrease and tetracycline and chloramphenicol increase the effectiveness of azithromycin.
