To clarify, while related (i.e., macrolide antibiotics) erythromycin and clarithromycin are not the same drug. Clarithromycin is a semisynthetic derivative of erythromycin, with structural modifications to improve tissue penetration and broaden the spectrum of activity.

Clarithromycin is more acid stable than erythromycin, giving enhanced and more reliable concentrations in serum as well as fewer gastrointestinal side effects.
