Indications:
CLACIDO 1GM Tablet is indicated for:
Upper and lower respiratory tract infections (e.g., pharyngitis, sinusitis, bronchitis, pneumonia).
Skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
Eradication of Helicobacter pylori in combination with other medications for the treatment of duodenal ulcers.
Mycobacterial infections, including Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC).
Pharmacology:
CLACIDO contains Clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit. This action disrupts bacterial growth and replication, making it effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Dosage and Administration:
Dosage:
Adults: 500 mg to 1 gm daily in divided doses, depending on the severity of the infection.
Helicobacter pylori Eradication: 500 mg twice daily in combination with a proton pump inhibitor and amoxicillin.
Administration:
Swallow the tablet whole with water.
Can be taken with or without food.
Interaction:
Avoid concurrent use with medications like statins (e.g., simvastatin, lovastatin) due to the risk of myopathy.
