1. Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic: Biaxin® tablets exhibit activity against a wide variety of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective against many types of bacterial infections.
2. Oral Administration: Clarithromycin is available in oral tablet form, allowing for convenient dosing and administration at home or in a healthcare setting.
3. Multiple Dosage Options: Biaxin® tablets come in various strengths, allowing for flexibility in dosing based on the severity of the infection and the individual’s age, weight, and medical condition.
4. Rapid Onset of Action: Clarithromycin starts working quickly to combat bacterial infections, with noticeable improvement often seen within a few days of starting treatment.

Usage Instructions:

1. Dosage: The dosage of Biaxin® tablets depends on the type and severity of the infection, as well as individual factors such as age, weight, and kidney function. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your healthcare provider or as indicated on the prescription label.
2. Administration: Swallow the tablets whole with a full glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablets unless directed by your healthcare provider.
3. Timing: Biaxin® tablets are usually taken orally with or without food, as directed by your healthcare provider. It is important to take the medication at evenly spaced intervals to maintain consistent blood levels and maximize effectiveness.
4. Duration: Complete the full course of Clarithromycin treatment prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you start to feel better before the medication is finished. Stopping the medication prematurely may result in incomplete eradication of the infection and increase the risk of antibiotic resistance.

Precautions:

1. Allergic Reactions: Inform your healthcare provider if you have a known allergy to Clarithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics before starting treatment. Discontinue use and seek medical attention immediately if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, itching, swelling of the face or throat, or difficulty breathing.
2. Liver Function: Use caution when prescribing Biaxin® tablets to individuals with liver impairment, as Clarithromycin is primarily metabolized by the liver. Monitor liver function tests regularly during treatment, especially in individuals with pre-existing liver conditions.
3. Drug Interactions: Clarithromycin may interact with certain medications, potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking.
4. QT Prolongation: Clarithromycin may prolong the QT interval on electrocardiogram (ECG), increasing the risk of ventricular arrhythmias, including torsades de pointes. Use caution when prescribing Biaxin® tablets to individuals with a history of QT prolongation, cardiac arrhythmias, or electrolyte imbalances.

Side Effects:

1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Common side effects of Clarithromycin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and abdominal discomfort. Taking the medication with food may help alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms.
2. Headache: Some individuals may experience headaches while taking Biaxin® tablets, although this side effect is usually mild and transient.
3. Taste Alterations: Clarithromycin may cause taste disturbances, such as a metallic or bitter taste in the mouth. These symptoms typically resolve after discontinuation of the medication.
4. Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Clarithromycin may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when standing up from a sitting or lying position. Avoid driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how Clarithromycin affects you.

Always adhere to the instructions provided by your healthcare provider or pharmacist when using Biaxin® tablets. If you experience any concerning side effects or have questions about your treatment, consult your healthcare provider promptly.
