Claritek 125mg/5ml oral drops is an antibiotic medication used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections in infants and young children. The active ingredient in Claritek is clarithromycin, which belongs to a class of antibiotics called macrolides. Claritek works by stopping the growth and multiplication of bacteria, thereby treating the infection.
The medication comes in a 25ml bottle and contains 125mg of clarithromycin per 5ml of liquid. It is typically administered orally, and the dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the specific condition being treated, the patient's age and weight, and other factors.
As with all medications, Claritek can cause side effects, including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and rash. It may also interact with other medications, so it is important to inform the healthcare provider of any other medications being taken before starting treatment with Claritek.
