Can I take Clairtymicin and Water together?

Why this happens

Water does not interfere with how clarithromycin is absorbed, broken down, or removed from the body. It is a neutral liquid that helps transport the tablet to the stomach.

What you should do

You should take your clarithromycin tablet with a full glass of water. You can take this medication with or without food, but drinking plenty of fluids while taking antibiotics is generally recommended to stay hydrated.
