Azithromycin is acid-stable and well-absorbed when taken orally, with enhanced absorption on an empty stomach. Peak plasma levels occur within 2.1–3.2 hours. It accumulates significantly in phagocytes and is delivered directly to infection sites, where it is released during phagocytosis. Tissue concentrations can be over 50 times greater than plasma levels due to lipid solubility and ion trapping.
The drug has a long half-life, allowing for once-daily or short-course dosing. After a single 500 mg dose, azithromycin exhibits a terminal half-life of about 68 hours. It is mainly eliminated via bile in an unchanged form, with only 6% excreted unchanged in urine over one week.
