Hello all,
For a while i'm having some trouble with my stomach. Endoscopy results shows
that there is bacterium called helicobacter pylori in my stomach which causes
serious stomach problems. So my doctor told me to begin an antibiotics therapy
for a week which contains 1000 mg clarithromycin every day. I asked him if there
is an interaction between gleevec and this antibiotics and his answer was "no".
The problem is that i searched the web and read that there is an interaction
between imatinib and clarithromycin. I'm really confused now and i dont know
what to do. I will be very happy if someone has a knowledge or idea about this.
