SPL UNCLASSIFIED SECTION
Rx Only
To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the
effectiveness of
clarithromycin extended-release tablets and other antibacterial drugs,
clarithromycin
tablets should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are
proven or strongly
suspected to be caused by bacteria.
DESCRIPTION
Clarithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic. Chemically,
it is 6- 0 -
methylerythromycin. The molecular formula is C38H69NO13, and the
molecular weight is
747.96. The structural formula is:
[Clarithromycin structural formula]
Clarithromycin is a white to off-white crystalline powder. It is
soluble in acetone, slightly
soluble in methanol, ethanol, and acetonitrile, and practically
insoluble in water.
Each yellow oval film-coated clarithromycin extended-release tablet,
for oral
administration, contains 500 mg of clarithromycin and the following
inactive ingredients:
compressible sugar, D&C yellow #10 Lake, glycerol monostearate,
polyethylene glycol
3000, polyvinyl alcohol, sodium phosphate monobasic (anhydrous), talc
and titanium
dioxide.
Meets USP requirements for dissolution test 2.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Pharmacokinetics
Clarithromycin is rapidly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract
after oral
administration. The absolute bioavailability of 250 mg clarithromycin
tablets was
approximately 50%. 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. Food also increases the clarithromycin peak plasma
concentration by about
24%, but does not affect the extent of clarithromycin bioavailability.
Food does not
affect the onset of formation of the antimicrobially active
metabolite, 14-OH
clarithromycin or its peak plasma concentration but does slightly
decrease the extent of
metabolite formation, indicated by an 11% decrease in area under the
plasma
concentration-t
