Are You Worried Your Tuberculosis Treatment Isn’t Working?
When standard TB medications don’t seem effective, it can be frightening and frustrating. Our Clarithromycin Antitubercular Sensitivity Test provides the clarity you need to ensure your treatment is targeting your specific tuberculosis strain effectively.
Understanding Your Clarithromycin Sensitivity Test
This specialised test examines how your tuberculosis bacteria respond to clarithromycin, an important antibiotic used in TB treatment. Using advanced automated fluorescent technology, we determine whether your specific TB strain is sensitive or resistant to this medication, giving your healthcare provider critical information to adjust your treatment plan if needed.
