Acetylspiramycin Capsules
Function and Efficacy
Acetylspiramycin is an acetylated derivative of spiramycin and belongs to the 16-membered macrolide class. This product has good antibacterial effects on Gram-positive cocci such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Enterococcus faecalis. It also has inhibitory effects on Listeria, Moraxella catarrhalis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Campylobacter fetus, Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella pneumophila, Bordetella pertussis, Bacteroides, Clostridium perfringens, Propionibacterium acnes, Peptococcus and Streptococcus, as well as Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Toxoplasma, Cryptosporidium, etc. Intestinal Gram-negative bacilli are usually resistant. The mechanism of action is that acetylspiramycin binds to the 50S subunit of the ribosome of sensitive microorganisms, inhibiting RNA-dependent protein synthesis and exerting an antibacterial effect.

If it must be used, breastfeeding should be suspended. Precautions for the elderly: Elderly patients with normal liver and kidney function do not need to reduce the dosage.
Drug Interactions
1 This product does not affect the metabolism of drugs such as aminophylline. 2 In patients receiving ergot derivatives, ergot poisoning has occurred when certain macrolides are used at the same time. There are currently no reports of interactions between ergot and acetylspiramycin, but this possibility still exists in theory. Therefore, acetylspiramycin and ergot should not be taken at the same time.
