1. What is Azimycin and what is it used for

Azimycin contains the active substance azithromycin, which is an azalide antibiotic from the macrolide group with a broad spectrum of activity. It has a bactericidal effect on susceptible microorganisms.
Azimycin in the form of powder for oral suspension is indicated for the treatment of the following infections caused by microorganisms susceptible to azithromycin.

  • Upper respiratory tract infections: bacterial pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis (see also section 2).
  • Acute otitis media.
  • Lower respiratory tract infections: acute bronchitis, exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, mild to moderate pneumonia, including interstitial pneumonia.
  • Skin and soft tissue infections: erysipelas, impetigo, and secondary pyoderma; erythema migrans - the first symptom of Lyme disease.

2. Important information before taking Azimycin

When not to take Azimycin

  • If the patient is allergic to azithromycin, erythromycin, other macrolide antibiotics, or ketolide antibiotics, or to any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).

Warnings and precautions

Before starting treatment with Azimycin, the patient should discuss with their doctor or pharmacist if:

  • the patient has conditions that may lead to cardiac arrhythmias (especially in women and the elderly):
    • congenital or existing cardiac arrhythmias (visible on an ECG - a test of heart electrical activity),
    • severe heart failure,
  • very slow heart rate (bradycardia),
  • electrolyte disturbances in the blood, especially low potassium and magnesium levels,
  • the patient is taking other medicines that may cause QT interval prolongation on an ECG (see "Azimycin and other medicines");
    • the patient has severe kidney dysfunction;
    • the patient has severe liver dysfunction: the doctor may monitor liver function or discontinue treatment;
    • the patient has a new infection (this may indicate an overgrowth of resistant microorganisms or a fungal infection);
    • the patient has neurological or mental disorders;
    • the patient has a sexually transmitted disease: the doctor should ensure that the patient does not have a co-existing syphilis infection;
    • the patient is taking ergotamine derivatives (for migraine or to reduce blood flow);
    • the patient has infected burn wounds.

Also, read the warnings in section 4.
If, despite treatment, the symptoms of the infection do not subside or symptoms of a new infection appear, e.g., fungal infection, the patient should consult their doctor again.
Infections caused by streptococci
In the treatment of pharyngitis and tonsillitis caused by streptococci, the drug of choice is usually penicillin.
Pseudomembranous colitis
If diarrhea occurs, it should be reported to the doctor immediately, as it may be a symptom of pseudomembranous colitis - a complication that sometimes occurs during the use of macrolide antibiotics. Such a diagnosis should be considered in patients who develop diarrhea after starting treatment with azithromycin. In the case of pseudomembranous colitis caused by azithromycin, it may be necessary to discontinue Azimycin and use appropriate treatment. It is contraindicated to administer anti-peristaltic agents.
Long-term use
There is no data on the safety and efficacy of azithromycin used for a long time in the above indications. In the case of rapidly recurring infections, the doctor will consider treatment with another antibacterial agent.
Myasthenia
During treatment with azithromycin, exacerbation of myasthenia symptoms or the occurrence of a myasthenic syndrome (see "Possible side effects") has been observed.
Treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex infections in children
The safety and efficacy of azithromycin in the treatment of Mycobacterium avium complex infections or in the prevention of such infections in children have not been established.

Children and adolescents

The dose is modified depending on body weight (see section 3).

Azimycin and other medicines

The patient should tell their doctor or pharmacist about all medicines they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any medicines they plan to take.
If the patient is taking any of the following medicines, it is especially important to inform their doctor or pharmacist:

  • medicines that affect the QT interval, such as:
    • quinidine, procainamide, dofetilide, amiodarone, sotalol (used to treat arrhythmias),
    • cisapride (used to treat stomach disorders),

  • oral anticoagulants, e.g., warfarin;
  • ergot alkaloids (used for migraine or to reduce blood flow), e.g., ergotamine, which can cause ergotism (symptoms - spasm of peripheral blood vessels and ischemia) when used with azithromycin;
  • digoxin (used to treat heart rhythm disorders);
  • colchicine (used to treat gout or familial Mediterranean fever);
  • cyclosporin (used to treat skin diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, or after organ transplantation);
