Composition

• Active Ingredient: Clarithromycin 125 mg per 5 ml

• Dosage Form: Oral suspension

• Route of Administration: Oral

Mechanism of Action

Clarithromycin acts by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, inhibiting protein synthesis. This action prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying. By stopping bacterial protein production, Clarithromycin allows the body’s immune system to effectively eliminate the infection. It is active against many gram-positive, gram-negative, and atypical organisms.

Claricin Suspension 125 mg/5 ml is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by clarithromycin-sensitive bacteria, including:

• Ear infections such as otitis media

• Skin and soft tissue infections

• Dental and oral infections

• Helicobacter pylori infection, as part of combination therapy for peptic ulcer disease

• Infections caused by atypical organisms such as Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Legionella species

Dosage and Administration

Dosage depends on the patient’s age, body weight, severity of infection, and physician’s recommendation.

• Children: Dose is usually calculated based on body weight and administered in divided doses

• Adults (if suspension is used): As prescribed by the physician
