GENERIC: Azithromycin 250mg

MANUFACTURER: Abbott Laboratories

QUANTITY:

Pack of 10 capsules

INDICATION

Loqathro 250mg Caps is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat mild to moderate bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms. These include community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial exacerbations of COPD, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, skin and soft tissue infections, otitis media, and urogenital infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis.

MECHANISM OF ACTION

Azithromycin binds reversibly to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, blocking translocation of peptides and inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis. It is bacteriostatic at standard doses but may be bactericidal at high concentrations against certain organisms. Its long tissue half-life allows once-daily dosing and a short 3 to 5-day course, as drug concentrations remain at the site of infection for several days after the last dose.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION

•      Community-acquired pneumonia: 500mg on day 1, then 250mg once daily for days 2 to 5

•      Chlamydia: 1g as a single dose (available as 500mg or 250mg formulations)

•      Pharyngitis/sinusitis: 500mg on day 1, then 250mg for days 2 to 5

•      Always complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early

SIDE EFFECTS

Common:

•      Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea

•      Abdominal pain

•      Headache

•      Dizziness

Less common:

•      QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmias (rare; monitor in at-risk patients)

•      Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea

•      Abnormal liver function tests

•      Hypersensitivity reactions including rash and angioedema

NOT RECOMMENDED IN

•      Known hypersensitivity to azithromycin, erythromycin, or other macrolides

•      History of cholestatic jaundice or liver dysfunction with prior azithromycin use

•      Patients at risk of QT prolongation or taking other QT-prolonging drugs

•      Severe hepatic impairment

DRUG INTERACTIONS

Azithromycin can prolong the QT interval; avoid concurrent use with other QT-prolonging agents including antiarrhythmics, fluoroquinolones, and antipsychotics. Antacids containing Aluminium or magnesium reduce the rate of azithromycin absorption; take 1 hour before or 2 hours after antacids. Warfarin: occasional reports of enhanced anticoagulant effect; monitor INR. Cyclosporine levels may be increased; monitor closely.
