Clarithromycin vs. Macrolide

Clarithromycin, sold under the brand name Biaxin among others, is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. The macrolides are a class of natural products that consist of a large macrocyclic lactone ring to which one or more deoxy sugars, usually cladinose and desosamine, may be attached.
