Description
Therapy/Class: Antibiotic
Mechanism of Action:
Azithromycin: A macrolide antibiotic that binds tightly to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacterial pathogens, thereby impeding microbial mRNA translation and protein synthesis. It demonstrates significant lipophilicity, resulting in extended intracellular penetration and sustained sub-MIC tissue concentrations in conjunctival and lid margins.
Indications
Treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis caused by susceptible organisms
Superficial ocular bacterial infections as advised by the treating ophthalmologist
Note: This is an indicative Indication, please follow the doctors advise. Do not self medicate.
Dosage & Administration
Instill 1 drop into the inferior conjunctival cul-de-sac of the affected eye(s) as prescribed by the physician. Dosing frequency should be adjusted according to clinical response and severity.
Note: This is an indicative dosage, please follow the doctors advise. Do not self medicate.
