What is Klacid (Clarithromycin) used for?

This product is manufactured in Turkey and contains no English documentation.

Klacid (Clarithromycin) is an oral antibiotic prescribed to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. The medication weakens bacterial cell walls and prevents their reproduction to allow the immune system to destroy the infection naturally. This action makes it useful for treating infections of the nasal passage, lungs, ear, skin, soft tissue, Lyme disease, or ulcers caused by helicobacter pylori bacteria. Your physician may also prescribe it to treat other conditions that are not listed here.

How should I use Klacid (Clarithromycin)?

Follow your physician's instructions while using Klacid (Clarithromycin) to get the safest and most effective results from treatment. The medication is normally administered two times each day at a dosage of one tablet for a cycle of medication lasting one or two weeks. Swallow these doses whole along with a large glass of water to aid absorption. Never change the form of the tablet by crushing, splitting, or chewing them as this may destroy or alter the effects of their contents. Do not stop taking the medication before being instructed to do so, even if your symptoms have disappeared, as it may not be eliminated and can return stronger or more resistant to treatment. Ask your pharmacist or physician if you have any questions about the medicine to ensure the correct usage.
