Clavam 625 Tablet – Overview

Clavam 625 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It is commonly recommended for infections in the lungs (such as pneumonia), ears, sinuses, urinary tract, skin, and soft tissues. This medicine is not effective against viral illnesses like the common cold.

How to Take Clavam 625

It is best to take Clavam 625 Tablet with food to minimize stomach discomfort. Follow the dosage and schedule prescribed by your healthcare provider, and try to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your system. Even if symptoms improve early, you should complete the full course to ensure the infection is completely treated and to avoid antibiotic resistance.
