Talk:Clarithromycin

message: When I took Biaxin, the dizziness/motion sickness culminated in fainting. Is that so unusual that it's not worth mentioning? Just curious here.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.74.30.182 (talk) 12:38, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Special uses 

message: The Infobox at the top of the article reads: Half-life 3-4 h. Later, under "Metabolism" the article has …a metabolite, is almost twice as active and has a half-life of seven hours compared to clarithromycin's five hours. (my emphasis). So which is the half-life of clarithromycin – 3-4h or five hours? 86.158.24.13 (talk) 23:57, 27 September 2013 (UTC)

The half life is described as 3-5 hrs or 4-5hrs.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.191.176.159 (talk) 12:13, 4 April 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Half-life: conflicting information 

message: A Pharmacology Article that starts with the Side Effects? really?
Shouldnt it mention the mechanism of Action, Spectrum of resistance and susceptibility, Pharmacokinetics in the first sections?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.206.70.162 (talk) 08:13, 30 December 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment: For Valsartan18 

message: 1. Does this draft submission reflect a neutral point of view? yes
 
2. Are the points included verifiable with cited published material? Yes, but Drugs.com reference not needed after 1st paragraph of Side Effects.
3. What recommendations can you provide your colleagues for improvement of their draft?
* Great job editing the article! There are some minor grammar errors and run-on sentences.
* The cost section could improve by removing “it” and specifying “Clarithromycin is available as a generic medication”
* “Clarithromycin is available as immediate release tablets, extended release tablets, and granules for oral suspension” → Is this in the US? Or are all forms available globally? 
* They give a pricing range for the cost of the drug in the intro. Is this info necessary?
* Avoid primary sources such as the one used for the colchicine reaction (reference #11)
* The “available forms” and “brand names” sections need sources.
* “Available forms” should be under “Medical Uses” according to the Wikipedia Pharmacology Style Guide— Preceding unsigned comment added by Valsartan18 (talk • contribs) 05:26, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Peer edit for clarithromycin 

message: The article mentions that this medication is relatively inexpensive but costs more in the United States.  Why is that?  Does anyone know or have sources that explain this?  I came to this article because a family member was just put on the medication and yes, even the generic was more than we expected.LiPollis (talk) 17:56, 15 March 2016 (UTC)

thread_title:  ipa? 

message: I removed the image Clarithromycin structure.svg because it contains an error in depicting the chemical structure of Clarithromycin. As shown by both the scientific literature (figure 2) and pharmaceutical manufacturer HEC Pharm, H₃C (within tetradecagon, below OH) should be CH₃. There are also other discrepancies, as shown by a side-by-side comparison with figure 2. Interested editors are encouraged to join the discussion at Wikimedia Commons, since that is where control of this image resides. NedFausa (talk) 23:16, 5 February 2020 (UTC)
