(amycin for oral usuon)BRIEF SUMMARY

To reduce the developmnert of drug-resislutW bacteria and naotin the effeMvness ofZITHROMAP (azdhromycin)and other bacterial drugs, ZITHROMAX (azithromycin) should be used o0y to Stg or prevent infecbons that areproven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.

INDICATIONS MD USAGEZITHROMAX° (azitromycin) is indicated tor the btmannt of patients wth mild to moderate infections (pneumonia:see WARNINGS) caused by susceptible strairns of the designated mivooganisms in the specific conditions listedbelow. AS rcmmene dosge. duqton of theap and acf Sien =Wopua s var arnn these i*fc0onSs.please see DOSI; AND ADMINISlAlON for %mkfi dosing reo.ornmendalios.Children: (See PRECAUTIONS-Pdlati Use.)Acfte otlUs media caused by Haemnopl7ilus influerzae, Moxlia cabrranis or Streptococcus pneuimonias.

NOTE: Penicillin by the intramuscular route is the usuai drug of choice in the treab7Ten of Streptococcus pyogenesirifection and the prophybSs of rheurmatic fevrer. ZITHROMAX° is often efeie in ft eradicaton ofwsuseptble strains of Sbetococcus pyogenes from the rnopayrx Because sorne sbain are resisu toZrrHROMAX9, susceptbiiiy test shold be performed when paWter are teated with ZITHROMAX. Dataestabilshing etficacy of azromnycn in subsequent prevnon of rheumac fever are not avaiblae.

Appropriate culhure and susceptibilby tsts should be dvme before htment tD delerrine the waue orgnismand its susceptiility to azithrmycin. Therapy with ZITHROMAX"may be hiniated before resuls offtheseF are known;mmcthe resulb becormeavalble, anfimbobia teaygwdbe ad,usteaccordingl.To reduce the develop rw of dnig-rsis bacteria and mauintain the efctvness of ZITHROMAX8 (azithromycin)

and other antibbacterial drugs, ZITHROMAXO (azfthromycin) should be used onN to trea or prevent nWfecons that areMm or strongly suspectd to be caused by suscepbble bacteri. When culture and suscepdbiliy informmon areavaila,e, they should be considered in selecdng or modifing myiacnra therapy. In the absence of such data, localepidemiogoy and susceptibillty pattems may contribute to the empiric seWcion of therapy

CONTRAINDICATIONSZITHROMAX9 is contraindicate in patiens with know hypersensitvt to azaroffycin, erytronmycin or anyrnacrotide antibiotic.

WARNINGSSerious allergic reacfions, including angioedefma, anaphyAds, and defm-tologic reacfions irxluding StevensJohnson Syndrorne and tovc epidermal necrolysis have been reported rarely in patients on azithromrycin therapy.Afthough rare, fatalitie have been reported. (See COWNTRINICATIONS.) Despite initially successful symptomafictreatment of the atlergic symptoms, when syrnptomaki therapy was disciontinued, the allergic symptoms recrredmmsoora ter in somre padets wffhout frhr aemyidn exposure. These patent required prolonged!periods of observation and symnptomatic teatment The reWioriship of these episodes to the long tfssue half-life ofazithrormycin and subsequent prolonged exlposure to antigen is unknown at present

If an allergic reacfion occurs, the drug should be disotnued and appropriatheftapy should be irsSttuted.Physicians shouid be aware that reappearance of the allergic sympUns may occur when symptomatic therpy isdiswrntnued.

PRECAUTIOIISGenrl: Because aziffronmyc n is principally eliminated via the liver, caution should be exercised when azithromycinis administered to patients with impaired hepatfic tunction. Due to the limited data in subjects u ith GFR <1O0 mUmin,caution should be exercise when prescribing azithromzycin in these patients

Prolonged cardiac repobrizabon and OT interval, imparting a risk of developing cardiac arrhythmia and absadesdpointes, have been seen in treatment with other macrolides. A similar effect with azithromycin cannot be completelyruled out in patients at increased risk for prolonged cardiac repoliarion.

Prescribing ZllHROMA) (azithromycin) in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacteral inection or aprophylaictic indicaffon is unlikely to provide benefit to the pafien and incireases the ris of the development of drug-resistan bacteria.Information for Patients: ZJTHROMAXO oral suspension can be take with orwOut food.

Patients; should also be cautioned not to take aluminum- and magnesium-containing antacids and azithromycinsimultaneously.The patient should be directed to discontnue azthronTosn immediately and contac a physician if any signs of an

albrgic reacfion occur.Patiernts should be counseled that antibacterial drugs including ZITHROMAX* (azfithmmycin) should only be used to

treat bacterial Infecfions. They do not hrat viral inteclion (e.g., the common cold). When ZlTHROiMA)O (aithromycin)is prescribed to treat a bacteia infection, patients should be told that aithough it is common to feei better eady in thecourse of fth therapy, the medication shoud be taken exactly as dirctd. Slipping doses or not completing fth fullcourse of therapy may (1) decrease the effecXness of the immnediate treatnent and (2) increase the likelihood thabacteria will develop resistance and will not be treatabe by ZITHROMAX (azziffromycin) or ofthr arhbacterial dnugs inthe future.OiDm Inrde_: Co-admkWration of nehlfnanr at steady-state with a single ora dose of azthromycin resubd ininrveased azithromycin serum a r .Alffough a dose adjuWnent of azitromycin is not reommmended whenadministerd in comnbinaton with nelfinvir, clos mnixtorkV for kno H side effects of azithrmycin, SUCil as liver enzymeabnormiakies and hearHtg imparnent, is wraffntd. (See ADVEFtSE RECTIONiS.)

Azithromycin did not affect the prothromnbin time response to a single dose of warfarin. However, prudent medicalpractice dicte careful monitorng of prothrombin firme in all pabnts treated with azathonTycin and warfarinconcornfitany. Concurrert use of macrotides and warfarn in ciinical practice has been associated wit increasedantiulant effects.

Onug interacbon studies were performed with azithromycin and ofer drug likely to be co-administered. When usedin therapeufic doses, azithrormycin had a modest effect on tine pharrnacokinetics of atorvastatin, carbamazepine,cetrireine, didanosne, eftMmrnz, fluconazole, indinaviir, mklazolam, ritabiAin, sildenfil, fthotline (iintravenous andoral), triazolam, trimetimprim/suffamnethoxaoe or idovudine. Co-administration with efWiren or flucorwole had amodest effect on the pharmacoldnetics of azithromycin. No dosage adjustrnent of either drug is recommended whenazftronrin is coadministered wft any of the above agent.Insah wih fth drugs listed below have not been reported in clinical ftris with azithmomy*n ihowever, rno
