Pharmacology

Clarithromycin acts by inhibiting microsomal protein synthesis in susceptible organisms mainly by binding to the donor site on the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome and preventing translocation to that site.

Esomeprazole exerts its stomach acid-suppressing effects by preventing the final step in gastric acid production by covalently binding to sulfhydryl groups of cysteines found on the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme at the secretory surface of gastric parietal cells. This effect leads to the inhibition of both basal and stimulated gastric acid secretion, irrespective of the stimulus. As the binding of esomeprazole to the (H+, K+)-ATPase enzyme is irreversible and a new enzyme needs to be expressed in order to resume acid secretion, esomeprazole's duration of ant secretory effect that persists longer than 24 hours.

Amoxicillin is similar to penicillin in its bactericidal action against susceptible bacteria during the stage of active multiplication. It acts through the inhibition of cell wall biosynthesis which leads to the death of the bacteria.

Interactions of Maxpro HP 20

Esomeprazole is metabolized through the cytochrome P450 system, especially through the CYP3A isozymes. Studies have shown that Esomeprazole does not have clinically significant interactions with other drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, such as warfarin, antipyrine, indomethacin, ibuprofen, phenytoin, propranolol, prednisolone, diazepam, clarithromycin or terfenadine in a healthy subject.

Clarithromycin use in patients who are receiving theophylline may be associated with an increase in serum theophylline concentrations. There have been reports of interactions of clarithromycin with carbamazepine, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, hex barbital, phenytoin, alfentanil, disopyramide, lovastatin, bromocriptine, valproate, terfenadine, tiapride, pimozide & astemizole.

Contraindications

Maxpro®Hp is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to any of its components.

Side-Effects of Maxpro HP 20 Tablet

H. pylori eradication therapy is generally well tolerated. Adverse events reported during clinical trials were not unexpected given the component substances. Common adverse reactions included diarrhea and nausea.
