Is clarithromycin good for mycoplasma?

Clarithromycin is a semi-synthetic macrolide antibiotic, clarithromycin can bind to the 50s subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis, and then producing antibacterial effects, clarithromycin is a drug, there are limitations in the treatment, so it must be targeted, some people think that clarithromycin can treat mycoplasma? So, is this true? Let's take a look.

Clarithromycin extended-release tablets are only effective for infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae. Because clarithromycin belongs to the semi-synthetic macrolide class of antibiotics. Clarithromycin can bind to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thereby inhibiting its protein synthesis and producing antibacterial effects.

According to the principle of clarithromycin sustained-release tablets acting on bacteria. Clarithromycin extended-release tablets are only effective for infections caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

The production of β-lactamase does not affect the activity of clarithromycin.

Treatment:

Clarithromycin 500mg is orally taken every morning and evening for 2 weeks for 1 course of treatment.

Clarithromycin is a new macrolide antibiotic, which acts by binding to the 50S subunit on the bacterial nucleoproteosome, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, has a broad antibacterial spectrum, has strong activity against mycoplasma, and is stable to gastric acid;

Through the introduction of the above article, is clarithromycin effective in the treatment of mycoplasma? You should understand it, clarithromycin drugs must not be taken blindly, it is best to be able to use drugs under the guidance of professional doctors, so that the treatment effect is good, and there will be no side effects, any abnormal phenomena in the body, must be actively examined and treated, and must not be blindly used.
