BIOCLAR Suspension (Clarithromycin for Oral Suspension U.S.P. 125 mg/5 mL)

Product Description

BIOCLAR Suspension contains Clarithromycin U.S.P. 125 mg per 5 mL, a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic formulated as a dry powder for oral suspension. After reconstitution with purified water, it forms a pleasant-tasting oral liquid that provides effective treatment for a wide range of bacterial infections. The suspension is specially designed for pediatric patients and adults who have difficulty swallowing tablets or capsules, ensuring convenient administration and accurate dosing.

Clarithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis through binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. This prevents bacterial growth and multiplication, allowing the body's immune system to eliminate the infection. It is active against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive, Gram-negative, and atypical bacteria, making it an effective choice for treating various respiratory, ear, throat, skin, and soft tissue infections.

BIOCLAR Suspension is commonly prescribed for infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, acute otitis media (middle ear infection), acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, community-acquired pneumonia, and skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is also used as part of combination therapy for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with peptic ulcer disease and in the treatment or prevention of certain mycobacterial infections when recommended by a healthcare professional.

The suspension should be reconstituted with the recommended quantity of purified water before use and shaken thoroughly to obtain a uniform mixture. It should be shaken well before each dose. The dosage is determined by the patient's age, body weight, severity of infection, and kidney function, and should always be taken exactly as prescribed by a physician. Completing the full course of therapy is essential, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.

BIOCLAR Suspension is generally well tolerated. The most commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and temporary changes in taste. Patients with known hypersensitivity to macrolide antibiotics should avoid using this medicine. Caution is advised in individuals with severe liver or kidney impairment, and healthcare professionals should be informed of all medications being taken to minimize the risk of drug interactions.

When stored according to the recommended conditions after reconstitution, the suspension maintains its stability for the specified period. It should be stored below the recommended temperature, protected from excessive heat and moisture, and kept out of the reach of children. Do not freeze the reconstituted suspension.

BIOCLAR Suspension offers a safe, effective, and convenient antibiotic therapy for the treatment of susceptible bacterial infections. Its pleasant oral formulation, proven antibacterial activity, and reliable clinical performance make it a trusted choice for pediatric and adult patients requiring liquid antibiotic medication under medical supervision.
