✔️ Pharmacology

• Azithromycin is stable in acidic conditions and can be taken orally without needing protection from stomach acid.
• It is easily absorbed, with the greatest absorption occurring on an empty stomach.
• Azithromycin gets actively transported to the site of infection due to its high concentration in phagocytes.
• It has a prolonged half-life due to massive absorption and subsequent drug release from tissues.
• Bile excretion is the main route of elimination.
• Azithromycin does not interact with Warfarin, Theophylline, Carbamazepine, Methylprednisolone, or Cimetidine.

✔️ Pregnancy & Lactation:

• Azithromycin falls into pregnancy category B, as animal reproductive studies show no harm to the fetus.
• There are insufficient well-controlled trials in pregnant women; thus, Azithromycin should be used during pregnancy only if no other options are available.
