Azithromycin is used orally in children for the treatment of acute otitis media (AOM) caused by Haemophilus influenzae, M. catarrhalis, or S. pneumoniae. /Included in US product labeling/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 225
Azithromycin is used orally for the treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes (group A beta-hemolytic streptococci) in adults and children when first-line therapy (penicillins) cannot be used. /Included in US product labeling/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 225
Although further study is needed, azithromycin has been used in conjunction with an antimalarial agent (e.g., chloroquine, quinine, artesunate [not commercially available in the US]) for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria caused by Plasmodium falciparum, including multidrug-resistant strains. Azithromycin should not be used alone as monotherapy for the treatment of malaria. /NOT included in US product labeling/
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 229

Prolonged cardiac repolarization and QT interval, imparting a risk of developing cardiac arrhythmia and torsades de pointes, have been seen in treatment with macrolides, including azithromycin. Cases of torsades de pointes have been spontaneously reported during postmarketing surveillance in patients receiving azithromycin. Providers should consider the risk of QT prolongation which can be fatal when weighing the risks and benefits of azithromycin for at-risk groups including: patients with known prolongation of the QT interval, a history of torsades de pointes, congenital long QT syndrome, bradyarrhythmias or uncompensated heart failure; patients on drugs known to prolong the QT interval; or patients with ongoing proarrhythmic conditions such as uncorrected hypokalemia or hypomagnesemia, clinically significant bradycardia, and in patients receiving Class IA (quinidine, procainamide) or Class III (dofetilide, aminodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmic agents. Elderly patients may be more susceptible to drug-associated effects on the QT interval.
US FDA; Label Information for ZITHROMAX (azithromycin tablets) and (azithromycin for oral suspension) (Last updated January 2013). Available from, as of March 15, 2013: https://www.accessdata.fda.gov/drugsatfda_docs/label/2013/050710s039,050711s036,050784s023lbl.pdf
Pregnancy risk category: B /NO EVIDENCE OF RISK IN HUMANS. Adequate, well controlled studies in pregnant women have not shown increased risk of fetal abnormalities despite adverse findings in animals, or, in the absents of adequate human studies, animal studies show no fetal risk. The chance of fetal harm is remote but remains a possibility./
Physicians Desk Reference. 58th ed. Thomson PDR. Montvale, NJ 2004., p. 2684
The most frequent adverse effects of azithromycin involve the GI tract (i.e., diarrhea/loose stools, nausea, abdominal pain). While these adverse effects generally are mild to moderate in severity and occur less frequently than with oral erythromycin, adverse GI effects are the most frequent reason for discontinuing azithromycin therapy. Administration of conventional azithromycin tablets or oral suspension with food may improve GI tolerability.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 234

Absorption
Bioavailability of azithromycin is 37% following oral administration. Absorption is not affected by food. Macrolide absorption in the intestines is believed to be mediated by P-glycoprotein (ABCB1) efflux transporters, which are known to be encoded by the _ABCB1_ gene.
Route of Elimination
Biliary excretion of azithromycin, primarily as unchanged drug, is a major route of elimination. Over a 1 week period, approximately 6% of the administered dose is found as unchanged drug in urine.
Volume of Distribution
After oral administration, azithromycin is widely distributed in tissues with an apparent steady-state volume of distribution of 31.1 L/kg. Significantly greater azithromycin concentrations have been measured in the tissues rather than in plasma or serum,. The lung, tonsils and prostate are organs have shown a particularly high rate of azithromycin uptake. This drug is concentrated within macrophages and polymorphonucleocytes, allowing for effective activity against Chlamydia trachomatis. In addition, azithromycin is found to be concentrated in phagocytes and fibroblasts, shown by in vitro incubation techniques. In vivo studies demonstrate that concentration in phagocytes may contribute to azithromycin distribution to inflamed tissues.
Clearance
Mean apparent plasma cl=630 mL/min (following single 500 mg oral and i.v. dose)
Biliary excretion of azithromycin, predominantly as unchanged drug is a major route of elimination following oral administration.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 241
Azithromycin is rapidly absorbed from the GI tract after oral administration; absorption of the drug is incomplete but exceeds that of erythromycin. The absolute oral bioavailability of azithromycin is reported to be approximately 34-52% with single doses of 500 mg to 1.2 g administered as various oral dosage forms. Limited evidence indicates that the low bioavailability of zithromycin results from incomplete GI absorption rather acid degradation of the drug or extensive first-pss metabolism.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 240
Azithromycin appears to be distributed into most body tissues and fluids after oral or IV administration. The extensive tissue uptake of azithromycin has been attributed to cellular uptake of this basic antibiotic into relatively acidic lysosomes as a result of iron trapping and to an energy-dependent pathway associated with the nucleoside transport system.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 240
Because of rapid distribution into tissues and high intracellular concentrations of azithromycin, tissue concentrations of the drug generally exceed plasma concentrations by 10- to 100-fold following single dose administration; with multiple dosing, the tissue-to-plasma ratio increases.

In vitro and in vivo studies to assess the metabolism of azithromycin have not been performed, however, this drug is eliminated by the liver,.
The principal route of biotransformation involves N-demethylation of the desosamine sugar or at the 9a position on the macrolide ring. Other metabolic pathways include O-demethylation and hydrolysis and/or hydroxylation of the cladinose and desosamine sugar moieties and the macrolide ring. Up to 10 metabolites of azithromycin have been identified, and all are microbiologically inactive. While short-term administration of azithromycin produces hepatic accumulation of the drug and increases azithromycin demethylase activity, current evidence indicates that hepatic cytochrome p450 induction of inactivation via cytochrome-metabolite complex formation does not occur. In contrast to erythromycin, azithromycin does not inhibit its own metabolism via this pathway.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 241
Terminal elimination half-life: 68 hours
An elimination half-life of 54.5 hours has been reported in children 4 months to 15 years of age receiving single or multiple oral doses of azithromycin.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 241
Plasma azithromycin concentrations following a single 500-mg oral or IV dose decline in a polyphasic manner with a terminal elimination half-life averaging 68 hours. The high values for apparent steady-state volume of distribution (31.3-33.3 L/kg) and plasma clearance (630 mL/minute, 10.18 mL/minute per kg) of azithromycin suggest that the prolonged half-life is related to extensive uptake and subsequent release of the drug from tissues. The average tissue half-life of azithromycin is estimated to be 1-4 days. The half-life of the drug in peripheral leukocytes ranges from 34-57 hours.
American Society of Health-System Pharmacists 2012; Drug Information 2012. Bethesda, MD. 2012, p. 241
In order to replicate, bacteria require a specific process of protein synthesis, enabled by ribosomal proteins. Azithromycin binds to the 23S rRNA of the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit. It stops bacterial protein synthesis by inhibiting the transpeptidation/translocation step of protein synthesis and by inhibiting the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit,. This results in the control of various bacterial infections,. The strong affinity of macrolides, including azithromycin, for bacterial ribosomes, is consistent with their broadspectrum antibacterial activities. Azithromycin is highly stable at a low pH, giving it a longer serum half-life and increasing its concentrations in tissues compared to erythromycin.
Azithromycin usually is bacteriostatic, although the drug may be bactericidal in high concentrations against selected organisms. Bactericidal activity has been observed in vitro against Streptococcus pyogenes, S. pneumoniae, and Haemophilus influenzae. Azithromycin inhibits protein synthesis in susceptible organisms by penetrating the cell wall and binding to 50S ribosomal subunits, thereby inhibiting translocation of aminoacyl transfer-RNA and inhibiting polypeptide synthesis. The site of action of azithromycin appears to be the same as that of the macrolides (i.e., erythromycin, clarithromycin), clindamycin, lincomycin, and chloramphenicol. The antimicrobial activity of azithromycin is reduced at low pH. Azithromycin concentrates in phagocytes, including polymorphonuclear leukocytes, monocytes, macrophages, and fibroblasts. Penetration of the drug into phagocytic cells is necessary for activity against intracellular pathogens (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Legionella pneumophila, Chlamydia trachomatis, Salmonella typhi).

A Azitromicine CEP of the European Pharmacopoeia monograph is often referred to as a Azitromicine Certificate of Suitability (COS). The purpose of a Azitromicine CEP is to show that the European Pharmacopoeia monograph adequately controls the purity of Azitromicine EP produced by a given manufacturer. Suppliers of raw materials can prove the suitability of Azitromicine to their clients by showing that a Azitromicine CEP has been issued for it. The manufacturer submits a Azitromicine CEP (COS) as part of the market authorization procedure, and it takes on the role of a Azitromicine CEP holder for the record. Additionally, the data presented in the Azitromicine CEP (COS) is managed confidentially and offers a centralized system acknowledged by numerous nations, exactly like the Azitromicine DMF.
A Azitromicine CEP (COS) is recognised by all 36 nations that make up the European Pharmacopoeia Convention. Azitromicine CEPs may be accepted in nations that are not members of the Ph. Eur. at the discretion of the authorities there.
