Yes, antibiotics such as clarithromycin and metronidazole can generally be taken while receiving adalimumab (Exemptia 40 mg), provided they are prescribed for a confirmed or suspected bacterial infection.
These antibiotics do not normally reduce the effectiveness of adalimumab, and there are no major direct drug interactions generally expected between them.
However, adalimumab suppresses certain immune responses and may increase your susceptibility to infections.
The important concern is the severity of the infection, rather than the antibiotics themselves.
If you have a serious or active significant infection, your treating specialist may advise temporarily withholding adalimumab until the infection is controlled. Do not stop or change the injection schedule without medical advice.
For a mild infection, treatment may sometimes be continued after assessment.
Please let me know why you are receiving adalimumab and which bacterial infection you are being treated for, so I can guide you more specifically.
