Conclusions and relevance: Among older adults taking a calcium-channel blocker, concurrent use of clarithromycin compared with azithromycin was associated with a small but statistically significant greater 30-day risk of hospitalization with acute kidney injury
All generic drug interactions for clarithromycin oral (lists will include brand and generic names): 19 contraindicated drug interactions; NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) are pain relievers like ibuprofen or naproxen

Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic whose spectrum of activity includes many gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, S
The interaction between colchicine and clarithromycin occurs not only by concomitant use of multiple doses, but also single doses
The concomitant use of calcium-channel blockers and macrolide antibiotics increases the levels of calcium-channel blockers in the blood as they are metabolised by cytochrome P450 3A4 (CYP3A4), which is inhibited by macrolide antibiotics
The most commonly reported interacting drugs were amiodarone and ritonavir (bleeding), and phenobarbital, phenytoin, and carbamazepine (thrombosis)
We have described a potential interaction between clarithromycin and rivaroxaban

Carbamazepine, phenytoin, phenobarbital and primidone induce many cytochrome P450 (CYP) and glucuronyl transferase (GT However, elderly patients are more likely to have age-related kidney, liver, or heart problems, which may require caution and an adjustment in the dose for patients receiving diltiazem
Pharmacodynamic: Occurring between drugs that have similar or opposite pharmacologic effects or adverse effects; for example, these effects may occur because of competition at receptor sites or action of the drugs on the same physiologic system
It is not practi- cal to try to memorize the many CYP3A4 substrates, but it would be prudent to be familiar with the most common CYP3A4 inhibitors and inducers since such drugs are likely to interact with approximately half of all drugs on the market
