- Use with pimozide and cisapride along with ergotamines, dihydroergotamines, astemizole (if concomitant renal impairment), simvastatin, lovastatin, or products containing rilpivirine.
- Clarithromycin has been used in the treatment of cholestatic jaundice and hepatic dysfunction.

Canadian labeling: Additional contraindications not in US labeling
- Low levels of potassium
- Infectious mononucleosis suspected or confirmed
- Concurrent use of midazolam (oral), ticagrelor, ranolazine (not available in Canada), rilpivirine, saquinavir/ritonavir, or colchicine
- Renal impairment and severe liver failure are both possible
Warnings and precautions
-
Modified cardiac conduction
- Macrolides have been linked to prolongation of QTc interval, and cases of ventricular arrhythmias that are very rare (including torsades-de-pointes).
- Patients at high risk for prolonged cardiac repolarization should be used with caution
- Patients with hypokalemia/hypomagnesemia should not use it.
-
Anaphylactoid reactions and hypersensitivity reactions
- Patients receiving penicillin therapy have experienced severe, sometimes fatal hypersensitivity reactions (anaphylactoid).
- Patients with a history or hypersensitivity to beta-lactam or multiple allergen sensitivity or IgE-mediated reactions (eg anaphylaxis and angioedema) are more likely to experience this reaction.
- Asthmatic patients should exercise caution. Clearithromycin has been associated with severe acute reactions.
- These include anaphylaxis and Stevens-Johnson syndromes (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis, TEN, drug rash and eosinophilia with systemic symptoms (DRESS), Henoch-Schonlein purpura, and IgA vasculitis.
-
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), formerly Clostridium, is now Clostridioides
- Patients with persistent diarrhea should be evaluated for CDAD if they are not improving.
- Use the lowest possible dose and the shortest duration of PPI therapy for the condition you are trying to treat.
- Long-term use of clarithromycin or amoxicillin can lead to bacterial or fungal superinfection.
- These can include pseudomembranous and CDAD. It has been shown that CDAD can develop >2 months after antibiotic treatment.
-
Cutaneous and systemic Lupus Erythematosus
- There have been cases of exacerbation or new-onset of an existing autoimmune disease.
- Most often, cases of cutaneous lupus erythematosus were subacute CLE, which can occur within weeks to years of continuous therapy.
- Systemic lupus is less common and usually occurs in the early to middle ages.
- If you notice any symptoms of CLE/SLE, discontinue use and consult a specialist.
- Most patients experience improvement within 4 to 12 weeks after stopping esomeprazole.
-
Fractures
- Proton pump inhibitor therapy could increase the incidence of osteoporosis-related fractures of bones in the hip, spine or wrist.
- Patients receiving long-term or high-dose therapy (>1 year) should be monitored.
- Along with vitamin D, calcium and vitamin supplementation, the lowest effective dose should be used for the shortest time.
-
Hepatic effects
- It has been reported that clarithromycin can cause hepatic dysfunction, which is often reversible.
- This can include elevated liver enzymes, hepatitis (hepatocellular cholestatic), and jaundice.
- Hepatic failure can sometimes be fatal, especially if there is a preexisting severe hepatic condition or if hepatotoxic medication are being taken concurrently.
- You should immediately stop using the product if you experience any signs or symptoms of hepatitis.
-
Hypomagnesemia:
- Hypomagnesemia is most commonly seen in patients who have used PPI for more than three months. In the majority of cases, hypomagnesemia has been documented (rarely).
- You may experience symptoms or it may not. Seizures, tetany and arrhythmias may occur in more severe cases.
- Serum magnesium concentrations should be obtained before beginning long-term therapy and periodically thereafter, especially if a patient is concomitantly taking other drugs known to cause hypomagnesemia like digoxin & diuretics.
- Supplementation with magnesium may be necessary to correct hypomagnesemia.
- However, discontinuation of lansoprazole may not be possible. It takes approximately 1 week for magnesium levels in the body to return to normal.
-
Interstitial nephritis:
- Patients on PPIs can develop acute interstitial Nephritis at any stage of therapy. It is usually secondary to an idiopathic hypersensitivity reaction.
- The drug should be stopped immediately if acute interstitial Nephritis occurs.
-
Vitamin B deficiency:
- Vitamin B malabsorption or subsequent vitamin B deficiencies may develop after prolonged treatment (>=2 years).
- The dosage of the drug is what determines the severity of the condition.
- This association is stronger for women than it is for those younger than 30 years. Treatment discontinuation can lead to a decrease in prevalence.
-
Coronary artery disease (CAD).
- Clarithromycin should not be given to patients suffering from CAD.
- A post-marketing safety study has shown that patients with stable CAD are at greater risk of death due to clarithromycin short-term use.
- However, clarithromycin was randomized to more smokers.
-
Gastric cancer:
- Gastric malignancy can still be present despite symptoms.
-
Gastrointestinal infection (eg, Salmonella, Campylobacter):
- These infections could be more likely if you use PPI.
-
Hepatic impairment
- Patients with severe hepatic impairment should not take Lansoprazole. A reduction in dosage should be considered.
-
Infectious mononucleosis
- Patients with infectious mononucleosis have reported a rash after receiving amoxicillin therapy. Amoxicillin-class antibiotics should not be used in this situation.
-
Myasthenia gravis:
- Clarithromycin should be used with caution in these patients. It can lead to new onset and exacerbation.
-
Renal impairment
- Avoid use in patients with renal impairment.
