Macrolides in the treatment of urogenital infections: proven efficacy or marketing policy of pharmaceutical companies?

Abstract

Введение. В различных рекомендациях в качестве препаратов выбора при урогенитальном хламидиозе наряду с доксициклином указаны джозамицин и азитромицин. Вместе с тем, учитывая накопленный опыт проведения клинических исследований, отвечающих требованиям доказательной медицины, такие рекомендации вызывают ряд вопросов, требующих как минимум уточнений. Цель исследования. Оценить доказательную базу эффективности использования различных макролидных антибиотиков в лечении урогенитальных инфекций. Материал и методы исследования. Проведен глубокий временной литературный анализ клинических результатов использования, фармакокинетических, фармакологических свойств, механизма резистентности макролидов, назначаемых при лечении урогенитальной инфекции. Результаты исследования и их обсуждение. Отмечены слабые стороны джозамицина в сравнении с азитромицином: наименьший период полувыведения, отсутствие двух пиков концентрации в крови, менее выраженное противовоспалительное действие, отсутствие суб-МПК эффекта и комплаентности. Указывается на неправомерность включения джозамицина в федеральные клинические рекомендации по лечению различных форм урогенитальной патологии, включая беременных, в качестве препарата выбора, поскольку доказательная база в отношении эффективности и безопасности азитромицина значительно шире. Заключение. Результаты свидетельствуют в пользу большей коммерческой составляющей в продвижении джозамицина на фармацевтическом рынке, поскольку отсутствуют убедительные клинические доказательства и фармакокинетические обоснования его широкого применения.

Introduction. In various clinical recommendations, jozamycin and azithromycin are indicated along with doxycycline as the drugs of choice in urogenital chlamydia. However, given the experience of clinical trials, meeting the requirements of evidence-based medicine, such recommendations raise a number of questions that require at least clarifications. Aim of the study. Evaluate the evidence base for the effectiveness of the use of various macrolide antibiotics in the treatment of urogenital infections. Material and methods. A profound temporal analysis of the clinical results of use, pharmacokinetic, pharmacological properties, the mechanism of resistance of macrolides, administered in the treatment of urogenital infection, was performed. Results of the study and their discussion. The weak points of josamycin compared with azithromycin are marked: the shortest half-life, the absence of two peak concentrations in the blood, less pronounced anti-inflammatory effect, the lack of sub-MPK effect and compliance. It is pointed out that the inclusion of josamycin into federal clinical guidelines for the treatment of various forms of urogenital pathology, including pregnant women, is a wrong choice, since the evidence base for the effectiveness and safety of azithromycin is much broader. Conclusion. The results suggest a greater commercial interest in the promotion of josamycin in the pharmaceutical market, as there are no convincing clinical evidence and pharmacokinetic justifications for its large-scale application.
