Clarigard 500 Tablet

Clarigard 500 Tablet is an antibiotic medicine widely used to treat different types of bacterial infections. It contains clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria responsible for respiratory tract infections, throat and ear infections, skin infections, and certain stomach infections caused by Helicobacter pylori. This medicine is effective in both mild and moderate infections and is often prescribed when patients cannot tolerate other antibiotics such as penicillin. By targeting and preventing bacterial multiplication, Clarigard 500 Tablet helps the immune system fight off the infection and restores health. It must be used only under medical guidance to ensure the right dose and duration, as misuse or incomplete treatment may lead to antibiotic resistance. Clarigard 500 Tablet can be taken with food to minimize stomach irritation, and completing the full prescribed course is essential for the best outcome.
