Various analytical methods for the determination of clarithromycin- A review

Abstract

Clarithromycin has a broad spectrum of antibacterial properties. It is considered safe and necessary in any health system according to the World Health Organization's Essential Medicines List. Therefore, it is important to develop simple and low-cost analytical methods for these compounds in order to obtain a better quality control. This paper reviews a number of analytical papers that identify clarithromycin in commercial preparations and biological samples, and these include chromatography, ion selective electrodes and spectrophotometric.
