Is Clarithromycin Safe To Take For Sebaceous Cysts On The Scalp?
I have a sebascious cyst in my scalp, I have seen a doctor and I was prescribed clarithromycin, but after looking it up, I noticed that it has a lot of side effects like nausea in addition to it not being the best antibiotic for cysts, should I still take it? And can I dissolve/ crush it before taking it? I cannot swallow pills

Hello,
The side effects that you mention in the query are common while using the antibiotics. So, I recommend continuing the Clarithromycin to treat the infection. You can dissolve it without any problem.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
