Why choose this medicine?
Doctors often give it for many bacterial infections. It is well-researched and proven to work. It is also good for patients with a low white blood cell count or those with a fever from a bacterial infection. You can take it with or without food. This is helpful for traveler's diarrhea, even if you can't eat much while sick.

Talk to your doctor or Click Pharmacy doctor before you travel to make sure you have the right medicine.
How does it work?
It blocks an enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This enzyme helps bacteria copy and repair their DNA. By stopping this enzyme, the bacteria die, and the infection clears.
