Biochem/physiol Actions

Azithromycin dihydrate is a macrolide antibiotic with anti-immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory properties.
Azithromycin dihydrate is a macrolide antibiotic, azalide subclass. It binds to the 50S subunit of the 70S bacterial ribosomes and inhibits RNA-dependent protein synthesis in bacterial cells. Azithromycin also has anti-immunomodulatory/anti-inflammatory properties, which make it useful in treating cystic fibrosis.
