How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Clarithromycin). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
Clarithromycin is a macrolide antimicrobial drug [see Microbiology (12.4) ].
After a 250 mg tablet every 12 hours, approximately 20% of the dose is excreted in the urine as clarithromycin, while after a 500 mg tablet every 12 hours, the urinary excretion of clarithromycin is somewhat greater, approximately 30%.
For a single 500 mg dose of clarithromycin, food slightly delays the onset of clarithromycin absorption, increasing the peak time from approximately 2 to 2.5 hours.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Clarithromycin). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- There have been postmarketing reports of drug interactions when clarithromycin is co-administered with cisapride or pimozide, resulting in cardiac arrhythmias (QT prolongation, ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrillation, and torsades de pointes ) most likely due to inhibition of metabolism of these drugs by clarithromycin tablets.
The most frequent adverse reactions for both adult and pediatric populations observed in clinical trials are abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting and dysgeusia.
