Amoxicillin: Inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to one or more penicillin binding proteins that in turn inhibit the final transpeptidation step of peptoglycan synthesis in cell wall biosynthesis. Clarithromycin: Inhibits protein synthesis by binding to 50S ribosomal subunit causing antibacterial activity. Esomeprazole is a PPI that suppresses gastric acid secretion by inhibiting H+/K+ ATPase in the gastric parietal cell.
Serious and occasionally fatal hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in patients on Amoxicillin therapy. These reactions are more apt to occur in indivduals with a history of penicillin hypersensitivity. Clarithromycin should not used in pregnant women except in clinical circumstances where no alternative is appropriate.

Esomeprazole is metabolized through the cytochrome P450 system, specially through the CYP3A isozymes. Studies have shown that Esomeprazole does not have clinically significant interactions with other drugs metabolized by the cytochrome P450 system, such as warfarin, antipyrine, indomethacin, ibuprofen, phenytoin, propranolol, prednisolone, diazepam, clarithromycin or terfenadine in healthy subject. Clarithromycin use in patients who are receiving theophylline may be associated with an increase of serum theophylline concentrations. There have been reports of interactions of clarithromycin with carbamazepine, cyclosporine, tactrolimus, hexobarbital, phenytoin, alfetanil, disopyramide, lovastatin, bromocriptine, valproate, terfenadine, cisapride, pimozide & astemizole.
