Chest and sinus infections are common across Lahore, Karachi, Islamabad, and Rawalpindi, especially in winter. Doctors here often prescribe Arket tablet to clear stubborn bacterial infections.

Clarithromycin stops bacteria from making the proteins they need to grow. This makes it effective against many chest, throat, and skin infections.

Always finish the full course, even if you feel better early. Stopping too soon can let bacteria survive and become resistant.
