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.
(Editorâs note: The IDSA has published an erratum to this recommendation, noting that the dosage for azithromycin is 12 mg/kg once [max. 500 mg], and then 6 mg/kg [max. 250 mg] once daily for the next 4 days.) Three-day courses of treatment have also been examined.
