1. What is Azithromycin and what is it used for?
Azithromycin contains the drug azithromycin, which belongs to a new class of macrolide antibiotics called azalides.
Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that works effectively against most bacterial strains. It inhibits protein synthesis in the bacterial cell wall and thus the ability of bacteria to grow and multiply.
Azithromycin is indicated for the treatment of patients with infections caused by azithromycin-sensitive microorganisms: Gram-positive and Gram-negative aerobic cocci and bacteria, anaerobic microorganisms, intracellular and clinically atypical microorganisms:
Upper respiratory tract infections: bacterial pharyngitis (acute inflammation of the pharyngeal mucosa), tonsillitis (inflammation of the tonsils), sinusitis (inflammation of the paranasal sinuses), and inflammation of the middle ear
Lower respiratory tract infections: inflammation of the bronchi and lungs
Skin and soft tissue infections: erythema chronic migraine (first stage of Lyme disease – infection after being bitten by an infected tick), erysipelas (red wind – an acute infectious disease of the skin caused by streptococcal infection), impetigo (acute infectious disease of blistering skin (which is later covered with a crust) and secondary pyoderma (a bacterial skin infection most commonly caused by staphylococci or streptococci, with the main symptom of suppuration), acne vulgaris
Sexually transmitted diseases: uncomplicated urethritis (inflammation of the urethra caused by microorganisms, manifested by itching, burning, pain when urinating), cervicitis (inflammation of the mucous membrane of the cervix), caused by Chlamidia trachomseis, Ureaplasia neonorrhea and Ureaplasma urerea.
