Uses of Kyrith 500

Kyrith 500 can be prescribed for a variety of bacterial infections that affects various parts of the body. Based on the diagnosis and susceptibility of the bacteria, clarithromycin may be used for infections that includes the respiratory tract, ear and sinuses along with throat and skin tissues.

Clarithromycin is also usually involved in combination treatment for the prevention of Helicobacter pylori which is a bacterium related with certain stomach and duodenal ulcers. The dosage and duration relies on the treatment regimen advised by the doctor.

How Does Kyrith 500 Work?

Clarithromycin belongs to the macrolide group of antibiotics. It acts by binding to bacterial ribosomes and interfering with the production of proteins that bacteria need to grow and multiply. By limiting bacterial protein synthesis, clarithromycin helps control susceptible bacterial infections.

Kyrith 500 is not effective against viral infections, such as the common cold or influenza. Using antibiotics when they are not required can contribute to antibiotic resistance.
