🔬 How This Medicine Works (Pharmacology)

Pharmacokinetics

AbsorptionThis medicine is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration. Food does not significantly affect the extent of absorption.
DistributionThis medicine is widely distributed throughout the body, including bone, synovial fluid, and abscesses. It crosses the placenta and is excreted in breast milk.
Protein BindingApproximately 90% bound to plasma proteins.
MetabolismThis medicine is primarily metabolized in the liver to active and inactive metabolites.
Half-LifeThe elimination half-life is approximately 2.4 to 3 hours in adults with normal kidney and liver function.
ExcretionThis medicine and its metabolites are excreted mainly in urine and faeces.
BioavailabilityThe oral bioavailability is approximately 90%.
Onset of ActionThe onset of action is typically within 1 to 2 hours after oral administration.
Peak Plasma TimePeak plasma concentrations are reached within 1 hour after oral administration.
Duration of ActionThe duration of action is generally 6 to 8 hours, but it depends on the dosing interval and the infection being treated.

How It Works

This medicine works by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, blocking the early steps of protein synthesis. This prevents the bacteria from building essential proteins needed for growth and multiplication, ultimately leading to bacterial death or inhibition of growth.

Mechanism Steps

1
Binding to ribosome: This medicine binds to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome.
2
Inhibition of protein synthesis: It blocks the translocation step of peptide chain elongation, preventing the formation of new proteins.
3
Bacterial growth arrest: Without essential proteins, bacteria cannot grow or divide, and may die.
