How to use:
Preparation: Fill the dry syrup bottle with hot and cooled water up to the line, then shake it well to mix.
Management:
Before each usage, shake the bottle well.
Use the measuring cup or spoon that came with the medicine to measure the dose. Don't use regular spoons.
Take the dose before or after meals, as your doctor says to.
Dosage: The amount you give your child depends on their age, weight, and how bad the infection is.
Duration: Finish the whole course, even if your symptoms go better quickly, to keep the infection from coming again.
Missed Dose: Take it as soon as you recall. If it's almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed. Don't take twice as much.

How it works:
Clarithromycin, a macrolide antibiotic, is in Synclar.
It works by stopping bacteria from making proteins, which stops them from growing and multiplying.
This helps the immune system get rid of the illness quickly.
It works against several types of bacteria, both Gram-positive and Gram-negative.
