Clarithromycin dry suspension
Function and Efficacy
This product belongs to the macrolide antibiotics, and its mechanism is to inhibit protein synthesis by hindering the association of 50S subunits of nuclear proteins. This product has an inhibitory effect on Gram-positive bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, and Pneumococcus, and also has an inhibitory effect on some Gram-negative bacteria such as Haemophilus influenzae, Bordetella pertussis, Gonorrhea, Legionella pneumophila, and some anaerobic bacteria such as Bacteroides fragilis, Streptococcus peptostreptococcus, Propionibacterium acnes, etc., and also has an inhibitory effect on mycoplasma. The characteristics of this product are that its antibacterial activity in vitro is similar to that of erythromycin, but its antibacterial activity in vivo against some bacteria, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, and Haemophilus influenzae, is stronger than erythromycin. There is cross-resistance between this product and erythromycin.
