Tablets of 10 pcs in a blister.

Pharmacodynamics

Unidox soluteab is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that suppresses the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. It is effective against streptococci, treponema, chlamydia, ureaplasma, mycoplasma, brucella, plasmodia and other microorganisms.

Pharmacokinetics

The intake of food has almost no effect on the absorption of Unidox solute. The maximum concentration is achieved after 2 hours. The active substance penetrates well into the tissues and organs, and badly into the cerebrospinal fluid. It is easily found in the liver, lungs, teeth, eyes, synovial fluid, accumulates in the dentin. Excreted by the kidneys and excreted by the intestine.

Dosing and administration

Take inside, swallowing the whole tablet and washing down a glass of water. Treatment lasts 5-10 days.

With gonorrhea - 100 mg twice a day for 7 days. In primary syphilis - 100 mg twice a day for 14 days, with the secondary in the same dosage, but the course of treatment is extended to 28 days.

In chlamydia, urethritis caused by ureaplasma - 100 mg 2 times a day for 7 days.

With acne, 100 mg per day for 9 weeks.

Malaria prophylaxis is 100 mg once a day 1 day before the trip and every day for 100 mg during the trip.

Treatment of leptospirosis - 100 mg 2 times a day for 7 days. Prevention - 200 mg once a week during the entire period of stay in the epidemic area.

Overdose

Symptoms of an overdose of Unidox soluteab - vomiting and jaundice. It is recommended to immediately make a lavage of the stomach, drink activated charcoal. Hemodialysis is ineffective.

Interactions with other drugs

Antacids with magnesium and iron reduce the absorption of Unidox solute, the interval between taking these medications should be at least 2 hours. Tetracycline reduces the effectiveness of penicillin. Increases the frequency of acyclic bleeding when taking COC. Ethanol and barbiturates reduce the concentration of the drug in the blood. Simultaneous reception with retinol increases intracranial pressure. Do not take multivitamins, antacids and laxatives earlier than 2 hours before and 2 hours after taking the drug. Tetracycline antibiotics increase the sensitivity of the skin to ultraviolet light. Digestibility Unidox soluteab is disrupted if you are taking calcium and zinc simultaneously. Tell your doctor if you have serious liver problems - the usual dose of the drug in this case may be extremely toxic for you, you need to lower it or prescribe another antibiotic. It should be remembered that all tetracycline antibiotics are very toxic, therefore they have strict indications.

Storage conditions

At room temperature in a dry place out of the reach of children. The unused remedy should be discarded after the expiration date. After the expiration date, the drug causes a kidney-threatening syndrome.

Special instructions

Antibiotics of the tetracycline series negatively affect the vital activity of spermatozoa. This fact was proved by researchers at the University of Nevada. Therefore, in no case should one engage in self-medication and plan pregnancy if the spouse has taken doxycycline recently. Nevertheless, we can not imagine the treatment of serious diseases caused by the bacterial flora today without antibiotics. Unidox solute to you can prescribe at the complicated purulent angina, capable to cause defeat of heart, illnesses of a bladder and kidneys, an inflammation of lungs. Unidox soluteba is available only in tablets. Tetracyclines are also prescribed in the form of injections, which are quite painful. Since tetracycline compounds accumulate in the dentin and cause tooth decay, Unidox soluteab is not intended for treatment in childhood.

Antibiotics can not cure a cold! That's why you can see how the pharmacist's eyes fill with the blood, when you ask to give "some antibiotic from the throat". Because the cause of the common cold in most cases are viruses - more perfect organisms, against which antibiotics do not work, no matter how supernovae and effective against bacteria they may be! Colds and bronchitis are extremely rarely bacterial in nature. It is very difficult to distinguish when the virus is to blame for the disease, and when - the bacterial flora. Bacterial nature is characteristic of diseases of the bladder, sinusitis, otitis.

Do not stop taking your prescribed antibiotics before the end of the course. The remaining bacteria can grow and complicate the course of the disease. Antibiotics for the prevention of certain diseases can also be taken only on the advice of a doctor. For example, prevention is carried out by draftees, because people in the army suffer from respiratory infections more often. Unidox solute is not taken with alcohol. The reason for distrust of antibiotics is the long experience of their irrational use. Approximately 55% of all cases of prescribing antibiotics are unjustified! Due to the fact that the bacteria were mutated due to uncontrolled administration of antibiotics, it is necessary to release more and more of their forms. Expensive antibiotics, which are prescribed when all known antibiotics are powerless, are called antibiotic reserve. They artificially inflate the price, so that anyone can not buy them. If you do not stop this ubiquitous antibiotic treatment, by about 2020 all varieties of antibiotics will stop working on microbes because of their high adaptive capacity.

Antibiotics are needed only in difficult situations, when the body itself can not cope. If you abuse the prescription of antibiotics, beneficial bacteria will stop interfering with the propagation of harmful ones. Allergies may develop not only to the antibiotic that has been permanently prescribed, and so it has become an antigen for immune cells, but also for the whole group of antibiotics to which it relates. To select an adequate treatment in this case becomes much more difficult. Moreover, the immune system begins to react improperly to normal antigens.

An antibiotic does not help you with a cough, because it can be caused by viruses or asthma, and the bacterial causes of a cough are in last place. Self-medication with antibiotics is the cause of the spread of infections. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should be treated with particular care for the selection of an antibiotic. Tetracycline and levomecitin are prohibited for children.

There are cases of medical error when a pediatrician, for example, misses the onset of pneumonia. From such stories, my mother concludes that since doctors still do not understand anything, it would be nice to drink an antibiotic "just in case". This is fundamentally wrong. But even with such stubborn patients it is difficult, but it is necessary to work when they come with the consequences of self-treatment. Before the invention of penicillin, 60% of patients with pneumonia died. Of course, an antibiotic can be a salvation, but only if there is evidence. If a new strain of microbes is formed, it requires the development of an antibiotic of a new generation, with other properties.

The first three days of high temperature in ARVI is due to the virus. But if it is observed in the future, it almost always means bacterial complications. Adhere to bed rest and drink antiviral - arbidol, amixin. Drink tea with honey and linden. Sometimes with complications there is no temperature. In any case, if there is a strong weakness after SARS, it should cause fear.

Such diseases as rhinitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis and laryngitis, which occur without complications, are not treated with antibiotics. Furunculosis, herpes, chronic diarrhea, HIV - all this weakens the immune system, and in these cases, of course, antibiotics are needed.

Doctors whenever possible try to prescribe antibiotics inwards, and not in the form of injections. Remember the signs of an acute bacterial infection, which requires antibiotics: a persistent increase in temperature, a sharply increased ESR in the blood test, after improvement - the progression of the disease. Do not ask the doctor to prescribe an antibiotic. In developed countries, the norm is bacterial culture, if the course of the disease allows you to wait for its results. Waiting for the result may take about a week, but the appointment of an antibiotic will be very accurate.

Remember that immunity plays a crucial role in the fight against infection. Antibiotics - only an auxiliary tool. You do not need to bring down the temperature to 39C, maintain the body with vitamins.

Sometimes patients with a temperature of 40C are brought to the hospital, because all possible antibiotics have already been used. Unfortunately, the stock of antibiotics is not infinite, and resistance to them develops very quickly.

Irresponsible treatment of antibiotics can return us to the preantibiotics era. This means that angina can cause death again. 8 million children in the world under 5 years old die from infections. The level of pneumonia resistance reaches a catastrophic figure of 70%. In 30 years all microbes can become resistant to all existing drugs, and then even from abrasion it will be possible to die. Pharmacology is looking for a way out of this difficult situation. Bacteria still remain the most numerous population of organisms.

Shelf life

Shelf life Unidox solute - 5 years.
