dalaheal 300 (300mg Clindamycin)

Product Information

Dalaheal 300 mg Capsule is an antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is effective for infections of the lungs (such as pneumonia), throat, stomach, skin and soft tissues, bones and joints, and dental infections.

Dalaheal works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins required by bacteria for survival and growth. This stops bacterial multiplication, improves symptoms, and cures the underlying infection.

It can be taken with or without food but should be taken at evenly spaced intervals and at the same time each day. Continue the full course as prescribed, even if you feel better, to prevent recurrence or worsening of infection.
