Clarithromycin, a semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic derived from erythromycin, inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit. Binding inhibits peptidyl transferase activity and interferes with amino acid translocation during the translation and protein assembly process. Clarithromycin may be bacteriostatic or bactericidal depending on the organism and drug concentration.
Lactitol, also known as 4-β-D-galactopyranosyl-D-glucitol, is a sugar alcohol synthesized from [lactose]. It is used in food manufacturing as a nutritive sweetener and is approximately 35% as sweet as table sugar (i.e. [sucrose]). Clinically, lactitol has been investigated for use as an osmotic laxative and, along with other non-absorbable disaccharides such as [lactulose], in the treatment of hepatic encephalopathy in patients with cirrhosis.[A190915,A190918] Pizensy, an oral lactitol powder for solution, was approved by the FDA for use in chronic idiopathic constipation in February 2020.
