Co-administration of clarithromycin with oral administration of drugs that are metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system (eg, warfarin, ergot alkaloids, triazolam, lovastatin, disopyramide, phenytoin and cyclosporin) may increase serum concentrations of these drugs. Administration of clarithromycin to patients receiving theophylline increases serum theophylline concentrations and potential theophylline toxicity. Applying clarithromycin to patients taking warfarin may potentiate the effects of warfarin. The effectiveness of digoxin may be increased when co-administered with Klacid. Therefore, patients should be monitored for digoxin serum levels. Clarithromycin may increase the potency of carbamazepine by decreasing the rate of excretion. Macrolides have been reported to alter the metabolism of terfenadine, causing increased concentrations of terfenadine. This condition is associated with cardiac arrhythmias and therefore clarithromycin should be avoided in patients receiving terfenadine and any related non-sedating antihistamines such as astemizole. Concomitant administration of clarithromycin with zidovudine to HIV-infected adult patients may decrease steady-state zidovudine concentrations. This can be largely avoided by staggered doses of Klacid and zidovudine by approximately 1-2 hours. No such reactions have been observed in children.
