Azithromycin for suspension

Azithromycin dry suspension is an important drug, the following is a detailed popular science on it: 1. Drug type and ingredients Azithromycin dry suspension belongs to macrolide antibiotics, and its main ingredient is azithromycin. This drug inhibits the growth and reproduction of bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial proteins. 2. Efficacy and application Azithromycin dry suspension has anti-inflammatory, bactericidal, antibacterial, bacteriostatic and other effects, and has a good killing effect on a variety of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae and other Gram-positive bacteria. It is mainly used to treat infectious diseases caused by sensitive bacteria, including but not limited to upper respiratory tract infection, such as acute pharyngitis, tonsillitis and sinusitis. Lower respiratory tract infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Skin and soft tissue infections: Infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, etc. Sexually transmitted diseases: infections caused by Chlamydia trachomatis, Treponema pallidum, etc. Special pathogen infection: such as mycoplasma pneumoniae, chlamydia and other atypical pathogen infection. 3. Usage Azithromycin dry suspension is usually granular or powdery, which needs to be dissolved in appropriate amount of water, stirred evenly and taken. Since food may affect the absorption of azithromycin, it is recommended to take it 1 hour before or 2 hours after a meal. 4. The length of the course of treatment depends on the type and severity of the disease. In general, the course of azithromycin dry suspension is 3 to 5 days. For milder infections, such as general upper respiratory infections, a 3-day course may be sufficient. For more serious infections, such as pneumonia or empyema, a longer course of treatment may be needed, but the total course of treatment generally does not exceed 5 days. After 4 days of drug withdrawal, the drug can still play an antibacterial role in the body, so it is often used in the way of “taking 3 days and stopping 4 days” or “taking 5 days and stopping 2 days”. 5. Dosage The dosage of azithromycin dry suspension for children is usually calculated according to body weight. The following are some common dosage recommendations: General: a single daily oral dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight for 3 consecutive days, or a single daily oral dose of 10 mg/kg of body weight on day 1 and 5 mg/kg of body weight on days 2 to 5. Special diseases: For otitis media and pneumonia, take 10 mg/kg of body weight on the first day (the maximum daily dose is not more than 5 bags, 100 mg per bag), and 5 mg/kg of body weight on the second to fifth days (the maximum daily dose is not more than 2.5 bags). For the treatment of infantile pharyngitis and tonsillitis, the daily dose was calculated as 12 mg/kg of body weight (the maximum daily dose was not more than 5 bags) for 5 consecutive days. In the treatment of acute otitis media, a single dose of 30 mg/kg can be administered, but the total dose limit should be noted. 6. Precautions Before using azithromycin dry suspension, make sure that the child has no allergic reaction to azithromycin or other macrolides. Avoid concomitant use with aluminum and magnesium-containing antacids, which may reduce the efficacy of azithromycin. During medication, pay attention to observe the changes of the child’s condition and drug reactions, and seek medical treatment in time if there is any abnormality.
