The medication is available in tablet form for oral administration and may be prescribed in combination with other antibiotics to increase its effectiveness. Complete the full course of treatment, as prescribed by a healthcare professional, to ensure the infection is fully eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
