• Heart rhythm changes (QT prolongation)

Precautions:

• Allergies: Avoid Clarithromycin if you have a known allergy to macrolide antibiotics, such as erythromycin or azithromycin.
• Drug Interactions: Clarithromycin can interact with many medications, including some heart medications, blood thinners, and other antibiotics, increasing the risk of side effects.
• Heart Conditions: Use with caution if you have a history of heart rhythm problems (QT prolongation), as Clarithromycin may increase this risk.
• Kidney and Liver Function: If you have kidney or liver problems, dosing adjustments may be necessary.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Clarithromycin should generally be avoided during pregnancy unless no alternatives are available, as it may pose a risk to the fetus.
