Overview

Claranta 500mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) presented as a tablet, with Clarithromycin 500mg as its active ingredient content.

This page is limited to product, safety and handling information, in line with Malaysian rules on prescription medicine information for the public. Your prescriber or pharmacist is the right source for anything beyond that, together with the leaflet inside the pack.

Through DoctorOnCall, this product is supplied after an online consultation with a licensed doctor and a valid prescription, and it is checked by a registered pharmacist before dispensing. Take it exactly as prescribed, and speak to your doctor before stopping, changing the dose, or starting any other medicine alongside it.

Directions for Use

Take Claranta 500mg Tablet at evenly spaced times, morning and evening, swallowing the tablet whole with water; it can be taken with or without food, though taking it with food may help if you notice stomach upset. Complete the entire course prescribed even if your symptoms improve early.

Dosage

The usual dose of Claranta 500mg Tablet is one tablet twice daily, with or without food, for a course length determined by your doctor based on the type and severity of your infection – typically 7-14 days. Always complete the full course as prescribed, even if you feel better after a few days.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Statins such as simvastatin and lovastatin have an increased risk of muscle-related side effects (myopathy) when combined with clarithromycin

Quick Tips

  • Complete the full course of antibiotics even if you start feeling better
  • Tell your doctor about all other medicines you take, as clarithromycin interacts with several common drugs, including certain statins and heart medicines
  • Report any new palpitations, fainting, or yellowing of the skin/eyes to your doctor promptly
  • Take doses evenly spaced apart to maintain a steady level of the antibiotic in your body
