J01FA10 - Azithromycin

Propably not porphyrinogenic

Rationale

Low potency inhibitor of CYP3A4, probably only poorly interfering with the CYP system. Mechanism based inhibition less likely. Conflicting references.

Chemical description

Macrolide antibiotic used (500-250 mg /d) in urogenital infections caused by Clamydia and in gonococcal genital infections. Only small amounts metabolized in the liver by demethylation. Low potency inhibitor of CYP3A4. South African list: use with extreme caution only. French list: can be used.

Tradenames and packages

From some sources, we get a list of packages (United Kingdom, Ireland, Estonia). Other sources contain more or less "clean" versions of the trade name (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Lithuania, Norway). What you see here is the raw data we get from each country, so there will appear to be duplicates. The bold names are the searchable terms. The gray names that follow are all mapped to the bolded term.

Note: The cleaning is done automatically by a proprietary algorithm, and it may produce errors. We strive to improve it continuously.
