Description
Azithromycin is a semi-synthetic antibiotic from the group of macrolides which helps to cope with infections of the different severity. This is a rather new antibiotic which has a high acid resistance and is not destructed by beta-lactamase.
Depending on a dose, Azithromycin is able to act to bacteria bacteriostatically or bactericidally. Using Azithromycin in low doses of 250-500 mg, it penetrates inside the cells and inhibits synthesis of protein, so that microorganisms cannot develop.
High doses of Azithromycin (more than 500 mg per day) destroys the external protection of bacteria, inhibits synthesis of microorganism DNA and completely kills a pathogenic microflora.
Azithromycin provides a high efficiency in the treatment of gonorrhea, chlamydia, infections of the respiratory tract and organs of the urinary tract, and so a pathogenic microflora has a poor resistance to the action of this antibiotic.
