Claritek XL 500 mg Tablet – Long‑Lasting Clarithromycin for Bacterial Infections

Claritek XL 500 mg is an extended‑release tablet formulation of clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic that fights a broad range of bacterial infections. Thanks to its XL (long-acting) design, it allows for a once-daily dose, making it more convenient than standard clarithromycin tablets. 
This makes it ideal for treating respiratory infections (like bronchitis or pneumonia), upper respiratory tract infections (sinusitis, tonsillitis), and skin or soft tissue infections. 
The tablet should be taken with food, swallowed whole without breaking or crushing, which ensures its controlled release and steady drug levels in your system.

  • Once-daily dosing thanks to extended-release design
  • Effective for respiratory, skin, and soft tissue bacterial infections 
  • Improves patient compliance (less frequent dosing)
  • Proven clarithromycin efficacy with trusted manufacturing (Getz Pharma) 
  • Suitable for both mild and more severe infections depending on physician guidance

  1. Take one 500 mg tablet once daily, unless your doctor prescribes differently. 
  2. Always take it with food to help absorption and reduce stomach upset. 
  3. Swallow the tablet whole — do not chew, crush, or break it. 
  4. Complete the entire course, even if you start to feel better early, to fully clear the infection.
  5. If you forget a dose: take it as soon as you remember unless it's almost time for your next one — then skip the missed dose.

Q1: Can I take Claritek XL 500 mg every day?
A1: Yes — that’s the point of this extended-release formulation. Usually, it’s prescribed once daily, but always follow your doctor’s instructions.

Q2: Why would a doctor choose the XL version over regular clarithromycin?
A2: Because it releases the drug slowly over time, so you don’t need to take it multiple times a day. It’s more convenient for long-term treatment.

Q3: Is it safe for patients with kidney problems?
A3: It depends — for very low kidney function (creatinine clearance under 30 mL/min), doctors may avoid it or reduce the dose. Getz Pharma - We Care For Your Health

Q4: What are the common side effects?
A4: You may get nausea, abdominal discomfort, or headache. Serious effects like liver issues are rare but possible. 

Q5: Can both men and women take this?
A5: Yes — it’s suitable for all adults, regardless of gender, when used under medical supervision.

Clarithromycin (active), microcrystalline cellulose, hypromellose, lactose monohydrate, magnesium stearate, other excipients.

  • Use only under prescription — your doctor should determine if it’s suitable for your infection. 
  • Avoid if you’re allergic to clarithromycin or other macrolide antibiotics. 
  • May not be suitable for patients with very low kidney function (creatinine clearance < 30 mL/min) — dose adjustment or alternative may be needed. 
  • Beware of drug interactions: clarithromycin can interact with cisapride, pimozide, ergot alkaloids, and other medicines.
  • Discontinue and seek medical advice if you develop signs of liver damage (e.g., jaundice) or serious allergic reactions. 
  • Store at room temperature, below ~25 °C, away from heat and moisture.
