View company portfolio →What Ultima (Clarithromycin) is used for
Clarithromycin is an antibiotic from the macrolide group, the same family as azithromycin and erythromycin. It stops the bacteria that cause an infection from growing. It is a prescription medicine that comes as tablets (including slow-release tablets) and a liquid to swallow. An injection form is usually only given in hospital.
- Chest infections, such as bronchitis and pneumonia
- Throat, sinus and ear infections
- Skin infections, such as cellulitis
- Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), a stomach bacterium that can cause ulcers. For this it is given together with other antibiotics and a medicine that lowers stomach acid.
- Some mycobacterial infections, including treating and preventing Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection in people with a weak immune system, such as some people with HIV
- An option for many people who are allergic to penicillin antibiotics such as amoxicillin, because it works against many of the same bacteria
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for signs of a severe allergic reaction: sudden swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, a tight throat or trouble swallowing, fast breathing or struggling to breathe, blue, grey or pale skin or lips, sudden confusion or drowsiness, or fainting.
- Get emergency help for a swollen, raised, itchy, blistered or peeling rash, or skin that turns red and peels.
- Get urgent help for chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness on one side of the body or slurred speech.
- Contact a doctor straight away for a fast, pounding or uneven heartbeat.
Side effects, warnings and interactions for Clarithromycin
Prepared from the sources listed by the MedInfoBase team. General information, not medical advice: it gives no doses. Your doctor or pharmacist decides the medicine and dose for you.
Our condition guides that mention Clarithromycin
From our condition guides, written from WHO, NICE and other opened sources. Your doctor decides if Clarithromycin is right for you and the dose.
- Acute bronchitis: alternative when an antibiotic is needed and the first choice is unsuitable, for example in penicillin allergy
- Eczema (atopic dermatitis): only when an infection is spreading, severe or the person is unwell
- Helicobacter pylori infection: Used in some combinations, but avoided where resistance is high or the person has taken it before, unless a test shows the germ is sensitive
- Impetigo: Used instead of a penicillin if you are allergic to penicillin. Erythromycin is the preferred macrolide in pregnancy if one is needed
- Middle ear infection (otitis media): alternative for people allergic to penicillin
- Peptic ulcer disease: Always given in combination with a PPI (never one antibiotic alone) to clear H. pylori
- Pneumonia: an alternative for mild pneumonia where local resistance is low, or added to another antibiotic for adults with other illnesses or in hospital
- Sinusitis: not needed for most people
- Sore throat (pharyngitis and tonsillitis): an option for people allergic to penicillin
