Tablet Sa

I was prescribed Clarithromycin 14 x 500mg by my doctor at Christmas for a cold that seemed to be developing into a chest infection. I didn't want to be ill during Christmas so I got the prescription dispensed. In the event I didn't need to take it but the flu I now have has developed into a chest infection. Normally I am prescribed 250mg twice daily for 7 days. Could I take 500mg once per day for 7 days or should I cut the 500mg pill and take it as 250mg twice daily. I am concerned about compromising the efficiency of the treatment. Any advice?

What are the instructions on the prescription?

The usual dosing for that type of infection is 500mgs, every 12 hours, for 7 days, which probably explains why he gave you 14 tablets.

Adjusting it on your own, would be what would compromise the efficiency of the treatment and leave you with the risk of not completely eradicating the infection.
