As recommended dosages, durations of therapy. and applicable patient gopulations vary among theseinfections. glease see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION far specific dosing recommendations,

Acute otitis media caused by Haemophilus influenzae, Moraxella catarrhalis, or Streptococcus pneumoniae.(For specific dosage recommendation, see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)

Community-acquired pneumonia due to Chlamydia pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Mycoplasmapneumoniae, or Streptococcus pneumoniae in patients appropriate for oral therapy. (For specific dosagerecommendation, see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)

NOTE: Azithromycin should not be used in pedidrtic patients with pneumonia who are judged to beinappropriate for oral therapy because of moderate to severe illinou or risk factors such asany of the following: patients with cystic fibrosis, patients with nosocomially acquiredinfections, patients with known or suspected bacteremia, patients requiring hospitalization,or patients with significant underlying health problems that may compromise their ability torespond to their illness (Including immunodeficiency or functional aspbenin).

PheryngitisAonsillitis caused by Streptococcus pyogenes as an alternative to first-line therapy in individualswho cannot use first-line therapy. (For specific dosage recommendations, see DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)

NOTE: Penicillin by the intramuscular route is the usual drug of choice in the treatment of Streptococcuspyogenes infection and the prophylaxis of rheumatic fever. ZITHROMAXI is often effective in the eradication ofsusceptible strains of Streptococcus pyogenes from the nasopharynx. Because some strains are resistant toZITHROMAXI, susceptibility tests should be performed when patients are treated with ZITHROMAXI. Dataestablishing efficacy of azithromycin in subsequent prevention of rheumatic fever are not available.

Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment to determine the causativeorganism and its susceptibility to azithromycin. Therapy with ZITHROMAXI may be initiated before results of thesetests are known; once the results become available, antimicrobial therapy should be adjusted accordingly.

CONTRAINDICATIONSZITHROMAXI is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to azithromycin, erythromycin, or anymacrolide antibiotic.

WARNINGSSerious allergic reactions, including angioedema, anaphylaxis, and dermatologic reactions including StevensJohnson Syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis have been reported rarely in patients on azithromycin therapy.Although rare, fatalities have been reported. (See CONTRAINDICATIONS.) Despite initially successfulsymptomatic treatment of the allergic symptoms, when symptomatic therapy was discontinued, the allergicsymptoms recurred soon thereafter in some patients without further azithromycin exposure. These patientsrequired prolonged periods of observation and symptomatic treatment. The relationship of these episodes to thelong tissue half-life of azithromycin and subsequent prolonged exposure to antigen is unknown at present.

If an allergic reaction occurs, the drug should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be instituted.Physicians should be aware that reappearance of the allergic symptoms may occur when symptomatic therapyis discontinued.

In the tr aftnent of pneumonia, azithromycin has only been shown to be safe and effective in thetreatinnt of community-acquired pneumonia due to Chlamydiai pneumonias, Havemophilus influenzat,Mycoplasma pneumonlao, or S0lptococcus pneumonia# in patients appropriate for oral therapy.Azithromycin should not be used In patients with pneumonia who are judged to be inappropriate for oraltherapy because of moderate to severe Illness or risk factors such as any of the following: patients withcystic fibrosis, patients with nosocomially acquired infections, patients with known or suspectedbacteromia. patients requiring hospitalization, elderly or debilitated patients, or patients with significantunderlying health problems that may compromise their ability to respond to their illness (includingimmunodeficiency or functional asplenia).

Pseudomembranous colitis has been reported with nearly all antibacterial agents and may range inseverity from mild to life-threatening. Therefore, it is important to consider this diagnosis in patientswho present with diarrhea subsequent to the administration of antibacterial agents.

Treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of the colon and may permit overgrowth of clostridia.Studies indicate that a toxin produced by Clostridium difficile is a primary cause of 'antibiotic-associated colitis."

After the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis has been established, therapeutic measures should be initiated.Mild cases of pseudomembranous colitis usually respond to discontinuation of the drug alone. In moderate to severecases, consideration should be given to management with fluids and electrolytes, protein supplementation, andtreatment with an antibacterial drug clinically effective against Clostridium difficile colitis.

PRECAUTIONSGeneral: Because azithromycin is principally eliminated via the liver, caution should be exercised when azithromycinis administered to patients with impaired hepatic function.

There are no data regarding azithromycin usage in patients with renal impairment; thus, caution should beexercised when prescribing azithromycin in these patients.

The following adverse events have not been reported in clinical trials with azithromycin, an azalide; however,they have been reported with macrolide products: ventricular arrhythmias, including ventricular tachycardia andtorsades de pointes, in individuals with prolonged OT intervals.

There has been a spontaneous report from the post-marketing experience of a patient with previous history ofarrhythmias who experienced torsades de pointes and subsequent myocardial infarction following a course ofazithromycin therapy.Information for Patients: Patients should be cautioned to take ZITHROMAX(a suspension at least one hour prior toa meal or at least two hours after a meal. This medication should not be taken with food.

Patients should also be cautioned not to take aluminum- and magnesium-containing antacids and azithromycinsimultaneously.

The patient should be directed to discontinue azithromycin immediately and contact a physician if any signs of anallergic reaction occur.Drug Interactions: Aluminum- and magnesium-containing antacids reduce the peak serum levels (rate) but not theAUC (extent) of azithromycin absorption.

Administration of cimetidine t800 mg) twvo hours prior to azithromycin had no effect on azithromycin absorption.Azithromycin did not affect the plasma levels or pharmacokinetics of theophylline administered as a single

intravenous dose. The effect of azithromycin on the plasma levels or pharmacokinetics of theophylline administeredin multiple doses resulting in therapeutic steady-state levels of theophylline is not known. However, concurrent useof macrolides and theophylline has been associated with increases in the serum concentrations of theophylline.Therefore, until further data are available, prudent medical practice dictates careful monitoring of plasmatheophylline levels in patients receiving azithromycin and theophylline concomitantly.

Azithromycin did not affect the prothrombin time response to a single dose of warfarin. However, prudent medicalpractice dictates careful monitoring of prothrombin time in all patients treated with azithromycin and warfarinconcomitantly. Concurrent use of macrolides and warfarin in clinical practice has been associated with increasedanticoagulant effeacts.

The following drug interactions have not been reported in clinical trials with azithromycin, however, no specificdrug interaction studies have been performed to evaluate potential drug-drug interaction, Nonetheless, they havebeen observed with macrolide products. Until further data are developed regarding drug interactions whenazithromycin and these drugs are used concomitantly, careful monitoring of patients is advised:

Digoxin-elevated digoxin levels.Ergotamine or dihydroergotamine-acute ergot toxicity characterized by severe peripheral vasospasmand dysesthesia.Triazolam-decrease the clearance of triazolam and thus may increase the pharmacologic effect of triazolam.Drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system-elevations of serum carbamazepins, terfenadine, cyclosporine,hexobarbital, and phenytoin levels.

LaborWtry Ted Intcractons: There are no reported laboratory test interactions.Carcinogenasis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fhrtility. Long-term studies in animals have not been performedto evaluate carcinogenic potential. Azithromycin has shown no mutagenic potential in standard laboratory tests:

Pregnancy Category B: Reproduction studies have been performed in rats and miceat doses up to moderately maternally toxic dose levels (i.e., 200 mg/kg/day). These doses, based on a mg/m2 basis,are estimated to be 4 and 2 times, respectively, the human daily dose of 500 mg. In the animal studies, no evidenceof harm to the fetus due to azithromycin was found. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies inpre,qnant women. Because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human response, azithromycinshould be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.Nurming Mothe: It is not known whether azithromycin is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excretedin human milk, caution should be exercised wvhen azithromycin is administered to a nursing woman.Pediatric Use: (INDICATIONS AND USAGE.)

Acute Otitis Media (dosage regimen: 10 mg/k,q on Day 1 followed by 5 mg/kg on Days 2-5): Safety andeffectiveness in the treatment of children with otitis media under 6 months of age have not been established.

Community-Acquired Pneumonia (dosage regimen: 10 mg/kg on Day 1 followed by 5 mg/kg on Days 2-5): Safetyand effectiveness in the treatment of children with community-acquired pneumonia under 6 months of a,qe have notbeen established. Safety and effectiveness for pneumonia due to Chlamydia pneumo0niae and Mycoplasma pneumoniaewere documented in pediatric clinical trials. Safety and effectiveness for pneumonia due to Haemophilus influenzaeand Streptococcus pneumoniae were not documented bacteriologically in the pediatric clinical trial due to difficultyin obtaining specimens, Use of azithromycin for these two microorganisms is supported, however, by evidence fromadequate and well-controlled studies in adults.

Pharyngitis/Tonsillitis (dosage regimen: 12 mg/kg on Days 1-5k: Safety and effectiveness in the treatment ofchildren with pharyngitis/tonsillitis under 2 years of age have not been established.

Studies evaluatingl the us of repeated courses of therapy have not been conducted.Geriatric Use: Pharmacokinetic parameters in older volunteers (65-85 years old) were similar to those in youngervolunteers (18-40 years old) for the 5-day therapeutic regimen. Dosage adjustment does not appear to be necessaryfor older patients with normal renal and hepatic function receiving treatment with this dosage regimen,

ADVERSE REACTIONSIn clinical trials, most of the reported side effects were mild to moderate in severity and were reversible upondiscontinuation of the drug. Approximately 0.7% of the patients (adults and children) from the multiple-dose clinicaltrials discontinued ZITHROMAXI (azithromycin) therapy because of treatment-related side effects. Most of the sideeffects leading to discontinuation were related to the gastrointestinal tract, e.g., nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, orabdominal pain. Potentially serious side effects of angioedema and cholestatic jaundice were reported rarely.Clinical: Adults: Multiple-dose regimen: Overall, the most common side effects in adult patients receiving amultiple-dose regimen of ZITHROMAX" were related to the gastrointestinal system with diarrhea/loose stools (5%),nausea (3%), and abdominal pain (3%) being the most frequently reported.

No other side effects occurred in patients on the multiple-dose regimen of ZITHROMAXI with a frequency greaterthan 1%. Side effects that occurred with a frequency of 1% or less included the following:Cardiovascular Palpitations, chest pain.Gastointestinal: Dyspepsia, flatulence, vomitin,q, melena, and cholestatic jaundice.Genitourinery- Monilia, vaginitis, and nephritis.Nervous Syistem: Dizziness, headache, vertigo, and somnolence.General: Fatigue.Allergic: Rash, photosensitivity, and angioedema.Single 1-gram dose regimerr Overall, the most common side effects in patients receiving a single-dose regimen of1 ,qram of ZITHROMAX" were related to the gastrointestinal system and were more frequently reported than inpatients receivin,q the multiple-dose regimen.

Side effects that occurred in patients on the single one-,qram dosing regimen of ZITHROMAX" with a frequency of1% or greater included diarrhea/loose stools (7%), nausea 15%), abdominal pain (5%), vomiting (2%), dyspepsia (11%),and vaginitis (11%).Single 2-gram dose regimen: Overall, the most common side effects in patients receiving a single 2-gram dose ofZITHROMAXI were related to the gastrointestinal system. Side effects that occurred in patients in this study with afrequency of 1% or greater included nausea (118%), diarrhea/loose stools (114%). vomiting (7%), abdominal pain (7%),vaginitis (2%), dyspepsia (11%), and dizziness (11%). The majority of these complaints were mild in nature.Children: Multiple-dose regimens, The types of side effects in children were comparable to those seen in adults,with different incidence rates for the two dosage regimens recommended in children.

Acute Otitis Media: For the recommended dosage regimen of 10 mg/kg on Day 1 followed by 5 mg/kg onDays 2-5, the most frequent side effects attributed to treatment were diarrhea/loose stools (2%), abdominal pain (2%),vomiting (11%), and nausea (11%).

Community-Acquired Pneumonia: For the recommended dosage regimen of 10 mg/kg on Day 1 followed by5 mg/kg on Days 2-5, the most frequent side effects attributed to treatment were diarrhea/loose stools (5.8%),abdominal pain, vomiting, and nausea (1.9% each), and rash (1.6%).

Pharyngitis/tonsillitis: For the recommended dosage regimen of 12 mg/kg on Days 1-5, the most frequent sideeffects attributed to treatment were diarrhea/loose stools (6%), vomiting (5%), abdominal pain (3%), nausea (2%),and headache (1%).

With either treatment regimen, no other side effects occurred in children treated with ZITHROMAXt' with afrequency of greater than 1%. Side effects that occurred with a frequency of 1% or less included the following:Cardiovascular. Chest pain.Gastrointestinal: Dyspepsia, constipation, anorexia, flatulence, and gastritis.Nervous Systm: Headache (otitis media dosage), hyperkinesia, dizziness, agitation, nervousness, insomnia.General: Fever, fatigue, malaise.Allergic: Rash.Skin and Appendages: Pruritus, urticaria.Special Senses: Conjunctivitis.Post-Marketing Experience: Adverse events reported with azithromycin during the post-marketing period in adultand/or pediatric patients for which a causal relationship may not be established include:Allergic: Arthralgia, ed8ma, urticaria.Cardiovascular Arrhythmias including ventricular tachycardia.Gantrointesinal: Anorexia, constipation, dyspepsia, flatulence, vomiting/diarrhea rarely resulting in dehydration.General: Asthenia, paresthesia.Genitourinary- interstitial nephritis and acute renal failure.Uver/Biliary: Abnormal liver function including hepatitis and cholestatic jaundice.Nervous SynHn: Convulsions.Skin/Appendages: Rarely serious skin reactions including erythema multiforme, Stevens Johnson Syndrome, andtoxic epidermal necrolysis.Special Senses: Hearing disturbances including hearing loss, deafness, and/or tinnitus, rare reports of tastedisturbances.Laboratory Abnormalities: Adults: Significant abnormalities (irrespective of drug relationship) Dccurring duringthe clinical trials were reported as follows: with an incidence of 1-2%, elevated serum creatine phosphokinase,potassium, ALT (SGPT), GGT, and AST (SGOT); with an incidence of less than 1%, leukopenia, neutropenia,decreased platelet count, elevated serum alkaline phosphatase, bilirubin, BUN, creatinine, blood glucose, lDH,and phosphate.When follow-up was provided, changes in laboratory tests appeared to be reversible.In multiple-dose clinical trials involving more than 3000 patients, 3 patients discontinued therapy because of

treatment-related liver enzyme abnormalities and 1 because of a renal function abnormality.Children: Significant abnormalities (irrespective of drug relationship) occurring during clinical trials were allreported at a frequency of less than 1%, but were similar in type to the adult pattern.
