Following oral administration, lansoprazole and clarithromycin are also quickly absorbed. The distribution of all three drugs throughout tissues and organs is substantial. While lansoprazole is eliminated through renal excretion, both amoxicillin and clarithromycin are eliminated through hepatic metabolism.
