Clarithromycin comes in the form of tablets to be taken by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually every 12 hours. If stomach upset occurs, you may take it with food or milk. Swallow the tablet whole and not break, split, crush, or chew the tablet, as this can release the drug all at once and may cause side effects.
Take Biaxin regularly on a dosing schedule with even intervals to get the best possible results. The dose and duration of treatment will vary depending on the patient’s medical condition, response to treatment, and for children, and their weight. Complete the full treatment course to avoid any recurrence of the infection.
The recommended dosages of BIAXIN for the treatment of mild to moderate infections in adults are 250 to 500 milligrams (mg) two times a day. For more severe infections, the doses may be increased to 500 mg two times a day. Follow the dosage instructions provided by your doctor, as taking too much of this medication can cause serious side effects.
