Klamer® 500 mg Film-Coated Tablet (Clarithromycin) Antibiotic for Bacterial Infections

Klamer® 500 mg Film-Coated Tablet contains clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. Doctors commonly prescribe Klamer 500 mg to treat infections of the respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissues.

Clarithromycin works by stopping bacterial growth. Specifically, it blocks bacterial protein production, which bacteria need to survive and multiply. As a result, the infection stops spreading and the body can remove the harmful bacteria.

Doctors often prescribe Klamer 500 mg Film-Coated Tablet for conditions such as bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, and throat infections. In addition, doctors may combine clarithromycin with other medicines to treat Helicobacter pylori infections associated with stomach ulcers.

Patients take Klamer 500 mg Film-Coated Tablet orally (by mouth) exactly as a healthcare professional prescribes.

Composition

Each film-coated tablet contains:

• Clarithromycin – 500 mg

Mechanism of Action

Clarithromycin belongs to the macrolide antibiotic class.

The medicine works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to bacterial ribosomes and blocks the production of essential proteins. Consequently, bacteria cannot grow or multiply.

Because of this effect:
