clarithromycin

Clarithromycin is a type of antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by stopping bacteria from multiplying, helping your immune system clear the infection. Commonly prescribed for respiratory infections, skin infections, and ear infections, it is taken orally, usually as a tablet or liquid. Clarithromycin is effective against certain bacteria but does not work for viral infections like the cold or flu. It's important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and complete the entire course, even if symptoms improve, to prevent resistance and ensure the infection is fully treated.
