The primary election itinerary of analysis of azithromycin is through biliary voiding, as unchanged drug. Only 6-14% of a dose is excreted unchanged in the urine. Azithromycin has an apparent room of 630 ml/min in adults, with a terminus riddance half-life of 68 period of time.
The pharmacokinetic life history of oral azithromycin in children has been evaluated in two clinical trials using the kickoff dosing regimen approved (10 mg/kg on day 1, followed by 5 mg/kg on days 2-5). Patients were divided by age, with a set between 0.6 and 5 time period of age and another set of children 6 to 15 age of age. On day 5, the norm upper limit density was 0.224 mcg/ml in the younger patients, compared to a utmost absorption of 0.383 mcg/ml in the older children. The AUC was also lower in the younger children (1.8 mcg·hr/ml compared to 3.1 mcg·hr/ml). A similar signification of age on AUC was shown in a base try of 9 children, using a dose of 12 mg/kg. Permit in this field of study was 5.4 L/hr/kg, with an discharge half-life of 55 distance after a 5-day installation of handling.
