MECHANISM OF ACTION
Clarithromycin 500 mg a macrolide antibiotic, exerts its bacteriostatic (inhibitory) action primarily by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. By binding to this subunit, clarithromycin interferes with protein synthesis, thereby inhibiting bacterial growth and multiplication. This mechanism prevents the bacteria from producing essential proteins needed for their survival and replication. As a result, the bacterial infection is halted and eventually eradicated by the body's immune system. This antibiotic is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, skin infections, sinusitis, and sexually transmitted diseases.
