Overview

Stella Clarithromycin 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 with or without food, swallowing the tablet whole with a glass of water, at evenly spaced intervals (usually every 12 hours) to maintain a consistent level of the antibiotic in your body.

Dosage

The usual adult dose is 250mg to 500mg twice daily, depending on the type and severity of the infection, for a course usually lasting 7 to 14 days as prescribed by your doctor. Complete the full course even if you feel better before it is finished, to help prevent antibiotic resistance and recurrence of infection.

Storage Instructions

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

Side Effects

Contraindications

  • Known hypersensitivity to clarithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics
  • Concurrent use with certain medicines that can cause serious heart rhythm problems when combined with clarithromycin (e.g. certain statins, ergot alkaloids, colchicine at high doses)
  • Severe liver impairment (use with caution and under close monitoring)
  • History of QT interval prolongation or ventricular arrhythmia

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Statins such as simvastatin or lovastatin – clarithromycin can raise their blood levels and increase the risk of muscle toxicity
  • Warfarin – may enhance the blood-thinning effect and increase bleeding risk
  • Medicines that prolong the QT interval – combined use increases the risk of serious heart rhythm disturbances
  • Inform your doctor of all other medicines you are taking before starting this antibiotic

Quick Tips

  • Complete the full course of antibiotics even if you start to feel better
  • Take doses at evenly spaced times to maintain a steady antibiotic level
  • Tell your doctor about all other medicines, especially statins and heart medicines, before starting
