Pharmacology

Azithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. This action prevents the growth and multiplication of bacteria, exerting a bacteriostatic effect and, in some organisms, a bactericidal effect at higher concentrations.

Azithromycin is characterized by excellent tissue penetration and a long half-life, allowing once-daily dosing and shorter treatment durations. It accumulates at the site of infection, where it maintains therapeutic concentrations for an extended period, even after therapy is completed.

Dosage and Administration

• The dosage is determined by body weight, age, and severity of infection.

• Azin Suspension is usually given once daily for a prescribed number of days.

• Shake the bottle well before each use.
