Benefits of Use

Klacid 125mg/5ml Suspension offers several key benefits for treating bacterial infections:
It is highly effective against respiratory tract infections, including pharyngitis, tonsillitis, sinusitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia.
It treats skin and soft tissue infections such as folliculitis, cellulitis, and erysipelas.
The medication is also used for middle ear infections (acute otitis media).
Klacid is indicated for the eradication of Helicobacter pylori in patients with duodenal ulcers as part of a combination regimen.
It provides relief from symptoms associated with bacterial infections and helps prevent their spread.

How to Use

1. Always follow the precise dosage and duration prescribed by your physician.
2. Shake the bottle well for at least 30 seconds before each use to ensure the medication is evenly mixed.
3. Use the provided measuring spoon or oral syringe to accurately measure the prescribed dose.
4. Klacid suspension can be taken with or without food, as directed by your doctor.
5. Do not discontinue the treatment course prematurely, even if your symptoms improve, to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance and ensure complete eradication of the infection.
6. For reconstitution, follow pharmacist instructions carefully, typically involving adding a specific amount of water to the granules and shaking.

Caution & Warnings
