Pharmacology/Pharmacokinetics/Stability â Following oral administration, azithromycin reaches peak bloodstream concentrations in 2.2 to 3.2 hours. Within 48 hours, most patients with pneumonias will be afebrile. The liver is responsible for most metabolism of azithromycin. Antibiotics fall into three major classes according to their mechanism of action: cell walls, protein synthesis, or nucleic acid synthesis. Cell wall agents attack bacterial cell walls.
Azithromycin therefore stops the spread of infection and remaining bacteria are killed by the body's immune system or eventually die. Azithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which means it is active against a wide variety of bacteria that cause a wide variety of infections. Azithromycin may be used to treat infections of the upper or lower airways, skin or soft tissue, or ears.
