To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of clarithromycin extended-release tablets and other antibacterial drugs, clarithromycin extended-release tablets should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy. THE EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF CLARITHROMYCIN EXTENDED-RELEASE TABLETS IN TREATING OTHER INFECTIONS FOR WHICH OTHER FORMULATIONS OF CLARITHROMYCIN ARE APPROVED HAVE NOT BEEN ESTABLISHED. Clarithromycin is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to clarithromycin, erythromycin, or any of the macrolide antibiotics. Concomitant administration of clarithromycin and any of the following drugs is contraindicated: cisapride, p

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 plasm
