Zithromax (azithromycin)

Zithromax (azithromycin) acts by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible microorganisms, interfering with microbial protein synthesis. Nucleic acid synthesis is not affected. Azithromycin is indicated for the treatment of adult patients with mild to moderate infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the specific conditions listed below.

Acute Bacterial Exacerbations of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Due to Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, or Streptococcus pneumoniae.

Pharyngitis/Tonsillitis: Caused by Streptococcus pyogenes as an alternative to first-line therapy in individuals who cannot use first-line therapy. (Penicillin by the intramuscular route is the usual drug of choice in the treatment of Streptococcus pyogenes infection and the prophylaxis of rheumatic fever. Azithromycin is often effective in the eradication of susceptible strains of Streptococcus pyogenes from the nasopharynx. Because some strains are resistant to azithromycin, susceptibility tests should be performed when patients are treated with azithromycin. Data establishing efficacy of azithromycin in subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever are not available.)

Uncomplicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections: Due to Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, or Streptococcus agalactiae. Abscesses usually require surgical drainage.

Urethritis and Cervicitis: Due to Chlamydia trachomatis or Neisseria gonorrhoeae.

Genital Ulcer Disease: In men due to Haemophilus ducreyi (chancroid). Due to the small number of women included in clinical trials, the efficacy of azithromycin in the treatment of chancroid in women has not been established.

Community-Acquired Pneumonia: Due to Chlamydia pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, or Streptococcus pneumoniae in patients appropriate for oral therapy.

NOTE: Azithromycin should not be used in patients with pneumonia who are judged to be inappropriate for oral therapy because of moderate to severe illness or risk factors such as any of the following:

Not indicated for patients with cystic fibrosis.
Not indicated for patients with nosocomially acquired infections.
Not indicated for patients with known or suspected bacteremia.
Not indicated for patients requiring hospitalization.
Not indicated for elderly or debilitated patients.
Not indicated for patients with significant underlying health problems that may compromise their ability to respond to their illness (including immunodeficiency or functional asplenia).

NOTE: Azithromycin, at the recommended dose, should not be relied upon to treat syphilis. Antimicrobial agents used in high doses for short periods of time to treat non-gonococcal urethritis may mask or delay the symptoms of incubating syphilis. All patients with sexually-transmitted urethritis or cervicitis should have a serologic test for syphilis and appropriate cultures for gonorrhea performed at the time of diagnosis. Appropriate antimicrobial therapy and follow-up tests for these diseases should be initiated if infection is confirmed.

Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment to determine the causative organism and its susceptibility to azithromycin. Therapy with azithromycin may be initiated before results of these tests are known; once the results become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted accordingly.

Drug Uses

Zithromax is used to treat many different types of bacterial infection, such as bronchitis, pneumonia, tonsillitis, skin infections, ear infections and sexually transmitted disease. It is usually taken once a day for 2-5 days. Take Zithromax exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it than prescribed by your doctor. The capsules should be taken with a full glass of water. Continue to take Zithromax even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Zithromax without talking to your doctor. If it upsets your stomach, take it with food.

Warnings/Precautions

Before taking Zithromax, tell your doctor if you have liver disease. You may not be able to take Zithromax, or you may require a lower dose or special monitoring during treatment. Zithromax is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is not expected to harm an unborn baby. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant or could become pregnant during treatment. It is not known whether Zithromax passes into breast milk. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby

Missed Dose

Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for the next regularly scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take the next one as directed. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.

Possible Side Effects

If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking Zithromax and seek emergency medical attention: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); or liver damage (yellowing of the skin or eyes, nausea, abdominal pain or discomfort, unusual bleeding or bruising, severe fatigue). Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take Zithromax and talk to your doctor if you experience nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain; unusual dizziness, fatigue, or headache; vaginal yeast infection; a rash; or increased sensitivity to sunlight. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.

Overdose

Seek emergency medical attention. Symptoms of Zithromax overdose include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort.

More Information

Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight. Zithromax may increase the sensitivity of the skin to sunlight. Use a sunscreen and wear protective clothing when exposure to the sun is unavoidable.
