Effectiveness
How Amoxicillin And Clarithromycin Affects PatientsClarithromycin is an antibiotic that is effective against a wide range of bacteria. This includes many common types of bacteria, such as Staphylococcus, Haemophilus, Moraxella, and Mycoplasma. It also works against certain viruses like Chlamydia, Toxoplasma, and Borrelia. Its strength is similar or greater than that of erythromycin, and it is usually effective at stopping the growth of bacteria without killing it, but it can kill some depending on the type and concentration.
How Amoxicillin And Clarithromycin works in the bodyClarithromycin works in two ways to fight infection. First, it penetrates the bacterial cell wall, then binds to the ribosome. This prevents the bacteria from making proteins and reproducing. Clarithromycin also inhibits two enzymes which work to break down certain drugs in the body, making them more effective.
