Contains the active ingredient : Clarithromycin which is a type of medicine called a macrolide antibiotic. It works by preventing bacteria from producing proteins that are essential to them. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow, replicate and increase in numbers. The bacteria eventually die or are destroyed by the immune system. This clears up the infection.
Clarithromycin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that helps clear up infections caused by a wide variety of bacteria.
What is it used for?

Chest infections (lung or lower respiratory tract infections), eg bronchitis, pneumonia. Clarithromycin may also be prescribed to prevent whooping cough in people who haven't been vaccinated against whooping cough and who are in close contact with someone who has it.
