About Cliford-C 600Mg/4Ml Inj

Cliford-C 600Mg/4Ml Inj belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat serious bacterial infections such as lower respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, empyema, and lung abscess; gynaecological infections like endometritis, nongonococcal tubo-ovarian abscess, pelvic cellulitis, and postsurgical vaginal cuff infection; intra-abdominal infections; septicaemia or sepsis (blood poisoning by bacteria), and bone and joint infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly.
