WHAT CLARITHROMYCIN IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Clarithromycin contains the active ingredient clarithromycin.
Clarithromycin belongs to a
group of medicines called macrolide antibiotics. Antibiotics stop the
growth of bacteria (bugs)
that cause infections.
Clarithromycin is used whenever an intravenous (injection into the
vein) antibiotic is required
to treat severe infections or, alternatively, if a patient cannot
swallow tablets.
It is used to treat infections caused by bacteria such as:
1. A flare-up of chronic bronchitis and infection of the lungs
(pneumonia)
2. Severe infection of the sinuses (sinusitis), throat (pharyngitis)
and tonsils (tonsillitis)
3. Skin and tissue infections
Clarithromycin is used in adults and children 12 years and older.
