Consumer:

Using clarithromycin together with insulin and some other diabetes medications has occasionally resulted in hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar. Symptoms of hypoglycemia include headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, nausea, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and rapid heartbeat. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions or concerns. You may need a dose adjustment or more frequent monitoring of your blood sugar if you are receiving treatment for diabetes and are starting clarithromycin. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Concomitant use of insulin and other antidiabetic agents with clarithromycin may cause significant hypoglycemia. There have been rare reports of hypoglycemia in patients treated with clarithromycin, some of whom were taking oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin. The exact mechanism of interaction has not been established. With certain hypoglycemic drugs such as nateglinide, pioglitazone, repaglinide and rosiglitazone, inhibition of the CYP450 3A4 isoenzyme by clarithromycin may be involved.

MANAGEMENT: Caution is advised if clarithromycin is prescribed to patients receiving antidiabetic agents. Patients should be advised to regularly monitor their blood sugar and counseled on how to recognize and treat hypoglycemia, which may include symptoms such as headache, dizziness, drowsiness, nervousness, confusion, tremor, hunger, weakness, perspiration, palpitation, and tachycardia.
