Clarithromycin Extended-Release Tablet

Abstract: Clarithromycin extended-release is an effective treatment for AECB, CAP, acute maxillary sinusitis, and pharyngitis (although not approved for the latter in the US), and is administered in a convenient dosage regimen that has the potential to encourage good compliance. The reformulation modulates clarithromycin absorption kinetics thereby improving tolerability. Therefore, clarithromycin extended-release provides a useful option for the treatment of specific respiratory tract infections.

“…A minimum hardness of approximately 4-6 kg/cm2 is thought to be necessary for mechanical stability for uncoated tablets. [14] Thickness Five tablets were taken from each formulation batch, and measured their diameter with a vernier calliper and a screw gauge was used to measure the tablet thicknesses. A calculation was made to determine the average thickness.…”

“…3 The clarithromycin drug is semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections and extensively engaged in usual abolition treatment of gastric H. pylori infection and upper respiratory tract infections by preventing the bacteria by reducing the protein synthesis. 4,5 The drug has short half-life of 3-4 h, which requires frequent administration with normal conventional dosage form causing large and undesirable fluctuations in plasma concentration and this shortens duration of action for providing adequate treatment. Henceforth this necessitates the formulation of ER of semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic that can be administered once or twice daily that can maintain therapeutic range of the drug.…”
