Cautions
Omeprazole
- Liver disease may require dosage reduction
- Published observational studies suggest that proton pump inhibitor (PPI) therapy may be associated with an increased risk for osteoporosis-related fractures of the hip, wrist, or spine; particularly with prolonged (>1 yr), high-dose therapy
- Hypomagnesemia may occur with prolonged use (ie, >1 year); adverse effects may result and include tetany, arrhythmias, or seizures; in 25% of cases reviewed, magnesium supplementation alone did not improve low serum magnesium levels and the PPI had to be discontinued
- Symptomatic response does not preclude concomitant underlying malignancy
- Acute tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) reported in patients taking PPIs; TIN may occur at any point during PPI therapy; patients may present with varying signs and symptoms from symptomatic hypersensitivity reactions, to non-specific symptoms of decreased renal function (eg, malaise, nausea, anorexia); in reported case series, some patients were diagnosed on biopsy and in the absence of extra-renal manifestations (eg, fever, rash or arthralgia); discontinue drug and evaluate patients with suspected acute TIN
-
Cutaneous and systemic lupus
- Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) reported with PPIs; these events have occurred as both new onset and exacerbation of existing autoimmune disease; majority of PPI-induced lupus erythematosus cases were CLE; the most common form of CLE reported in patients treated with PPIs was subacute CLE (SCLE) and occurred within weeks to years after continuous drug therapy in patients ranging from infants to the elderly; generally, histological findings were observed without organ involvement
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is less commonly reported than CLE in patients receiving PPIs; PPI associated SLE is usually milder than non-drug induced SLE; onset of SLE typically occurred within days to years after initiating treatment primarily in patients ranging from young adults to the elderly; the majority of patients presented with rash; however, arthralgia and cytopenia were also reported
- Avoid administration of PPIs for longer than medically indicated; if signs or symptoms consistent with CLE or SLE are noted in patients receiving therapy, discontinue the drug and refer the patient to appropriate specialist for evaluation
- Most patients improve with discontinuation of PPI alone in 4 to 12 weeks; serological testing (eg, ANA) may be positive and elevated serological test results may take longer to resolve than clinical manifestation
Amoxicillin
- Allergy to cephalosporins, carbapenems
- Endocarditis prophylaxis: use only for high-risk patients, per recent AHA Guidelines
- High doses may cause false urine glucose test by some methods
Clarithromycin
- Severe renal impairment
- Do not refrigerate oral solution
- Endocarditis prophylaxis: use only for high-risk patients, per recent AHA Guidelines
- Exacerbation of symptoms of myasthenia gravis and new onset of symptoms reported with clarithromycin; monitor patients for symptoms
- Colchicine toxicity, some fatal, reported with concomitant use of clarithromycin and colchicine, especially in the elderly, some of which occurred in patients with renal insufficiency; monitor patients for clinical symptoms of colchicine toxicity
Bacterial resistance and superinfection
- Possibility of superinfections with mycotic or bacterial pathogens should be kept in mind during therapy due to clarithromycin and amoxicillin components; if superinfections occur, discontinue therapy and institute appropriate therapy
- Prescribing clarithromycin or amoxicillin component in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to patient and increases risk of development of drug-resistant bacteria
Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD)
- CDAD reported with use of clarithromycin and amoxicillin; may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis; treatment with antibacterial agents alters the normal flora of colon leading to overgrowth of C. difficile
- C. difficile produces toxins A and B which contribute to development of CDAD; hypertoxin-producing strains of C. difficile cause increased morbidity and mortality, as these infections can be refractory to antimicrobial therapy and may require colectomy
- CDAD must be considered in all patients who present with diarrhea following antibiotic use; careful medical history is necessary since CDAD has been reported to occur over two months after administration of antibacterial agents; if CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibiotic use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued
- Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibiotic treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated
Pregnancy & Lactation
Pregnancy
Based on findings in animal studies for omeprazole and clarithromycin during pregnancy may cause fetal harm; therapy is not recommended for use in pregnant women except in clinical circumstances where no alternative therapy is appropriate; Ii therapy is administered during pregnancy, or if pregnancy occurs while receiving therapy, the patient should be apprised of the potential hazard to fetus; there are no adequate and well controlled studies of omeprazole, clarithromycin, or amoxicillin (used separately or together) in pregnant women
Animal data
- Clarithromycin demonstrated adverse developmental effects in four animal species at clinically relevant doses; omeprazole increased embryo-fetal loss in rabbits, but animal studies and multiple human studies do not show an increased risk for major malformations; there was no evidence of harm to fetus in mice and rats due to amoxicillin
Lactation
Based on limited human data, clarithromycin and its active metabolite 14-OH clarithromycin are present in human milk at less than 2% of maternal weight-adjusted dose; in a separate observational study, reported adverse effects on breast-fed children (rash, diarrhea, loss of appetite, somnolence) were comparable to amoxicillin
No data are available to assess effects of clarithromycin or 14-OH clarithromycin on milk production
Limited data from a single case report suggest omeprazole may be present in human milk; there are no clinical data on effects of omeprazole on breastfed infant or on milk production
Data from a published clinical lactation study indicate that amoxicillin is present in human milk; published adverse effects with amoxicillin exposure in breast-fed infant include diarrhea; there are no data on effects of amoxicillin on milk production
Development and health benefits of breastfeeding should be considered along with mother’s clinical need for omeprazole or clarithromycin or amoxicillin and any potential adverse effects on breast-fed child from clarithromycin or from underlying maternal condition.
Pregnancy Categories
A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.
B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk. C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done. D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk. X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist. NA: Information not available.Pharmacology
Mechanism of Action
Omeprazole
- Proton pump inhibitor; binds to H+/K+-exchange ATPase (proton pump) in gastric parietal cells resulting in blocking acid secretion
Amoxicillin
- Ampicillin derivative; elicits antibacterial effect by inhibiting biosynthesis of cell wall mucopeptide
Clarithromycin
- Semisynthetic macrolide antibiotic that reversibly binds to P site of 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible organisms and may inhibit RNA-dependent protein synthesis by stimulating dissociation of peptidyl t-RNA from ribosomes, causing bacterial growth inhibition
