Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic. I can understand your concern. Clarithomycin is macrolide group of antibiotic. It is having dose of 500mgs. Ideal dosing is once daily before breakfast for 5 days. So you need to continue Clarithomycin for full 5 days. Don't stop Clarithomycin before 5 days even if you feel good and improve. Early storage can cause drug resistance and relapse of infection. So take full 5 days of Clarithomycin course. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
