🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionFluconazole is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration, with bioavailability exceeding 90%. Azithromycin is also absorbed orally, though bioavailability is approximately 37% due to first-pass metabolism. Food may slightly alter absorption of azithromycin but is not clinically significant.
DistributionFluconazole distributes widely into body tissues and fluids, including vaginal secretions, and has low protein binding. Azithromycin distributes extensively into tissues, achieving high intracellular concentrations, especially in phagocytes and fibroblasts.
Protein BindingFluconazole is approximately 11-12% protein bound. Azithromycin is about 7-50% protein bound, depending on concentration.
MetabolismFluconazole undergoes minimal hepatic metabolism and is primarily excreted unchanged in urine. Azithromycin is extensively metabolized in the liver, mainly by CYP3A4, to inactive metabolites.
Half-LifeFluconazole elimination half-life is approximately 30 hours in adults with normal renal function. Azithromycin has a terminal elimination half-life of about 68 hours due to extensive tissue distribution.
ExcretionFluconazole is excreted mainly unchanged in urine (about 80%). Azithromycin is excreted primarily in bile as unchanged drug and metabolites, with a small fraction in urine.
BioavailabilityFluconazole oral bioavailability is over 90%. Azithromycin oral bioavailability is approximately 37%.
Onset of ActionFluconazole onset of action is within 1-2 hours after oral intake. Azithromycin onset is within 2-3 hours. Clinical improvement may take 24-48 hours.
Peak Plasma TimeFluconazole peak plasma concentration occurs 1-2 hours after oral dose. Azithromycin peak plasma concentration occurs 2-3 hours after oral dose.
Duration of ActionFluconazole's antifungal effect persists for at least 24 hours due to long half-life. Azithromycin's tissue levels remain elevated for several days after a single dose, providing prolonged antibacterial activity.

How It Works

This medicine combines two active ingredients with distinct mechanisms. Fluconazole, an azole antifungal, selectively inhibits fungal cytochrome P450-dependent 14-alpha-demethylase, blocking the conversion of lanosterol to ergosterol. This damages the fungal cell membrane and inhibits growth. Azithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria and inhibits protein synthesis by preventing translocation of peptidyl-tRNA, thereby stopping bacterial growth.

Mechanism Steps

1
Fluconazole uptake and target binding: Fluconazole enters fungal cells and binds to lanosterol 14-alpha-demethylase, blocking ergosterol synthesis.
2
Fungal membrane disruption: Depletion of ergosterol and accumulation of abnormal sterols weaken the fungal cell membrane, inhibiting growth.
3
Azithromycin ribosomal binding: Azithromycin binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, interfering with protein synthesis.
4
Bacterial growth inhibition: Inhibition of protein synthesis prevents bacterial multiplication and helps clear the infection.

Dosage Information

Adult DosageThe usual adult dose is one kit taken as a single dose or as directed by the physician. The fluconazole 1000 mg component is typically given as a single oral dose for vaginal candidiasis, while azithromycin 150 mg may be given as a single dose or divided over days for chlamydial infection. Dose must be individualized by a qualified clinician based on indication, age, weight, renal and hepatic function.
Pediatric DosagePediatric dosing is not established from available information. Consult a pediatrician.
Elderly DosageElderly patients may require dose adjustment based on renal function. Fluconazole dose should be reduced if creatinine clearance is decreased. Consult a doctor for individualized dosing.
Renal ImpairmentFluconazole dose should be reduced in patients with renal impairment. For creatinine clearance below 50 mL/min, a reduced dose is recommended. Azithromycin generally does not require adjustment but caution is advised in severe renal disease.
Hepatic ImpairmentUse with caution in patients with hepatic impairment. Fluconazole and azithromycin may require dose reduction or avoidance in severe liver disease. Monitor liver function closely.
Maximum Daily DoseThe maximum recommended single dose for fluconazole in this kit is 1000 mg. Azithromycin maximum daily dose is 150 mg as provided. Do not exceed prescribed dose.
