Common Stonecrop Overview
Common Stonecrop (Sedum acre) is a small, succulent perennial plant that is commonly found in rocky or sandy soils. While it is native to Europe and Asia, it has been introduced to North America as an ornamental plant. The plant has small, green leaves that are arranged in a rosette pattern, and produces yellow flowers in the summer. Common Stonecrop has been used in traditional medicine for various ailments and is believed to have diuretic, laxative, and astringent properties. It has been used to treat kidney and bladder problems, as well as to aid in digestion. The plant is also said to have anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties and has been used to treat wounds and skin conditions such as eczema.
Clarithromycin Overview
-
Clarithromycin is used to treat certain bacterial infections, such as pneumonia (a lung infection), bronchitis (infection of the tubes leading to the lungs), and infections of the ears, sinuses, skin, and throat. It also is used to treat and prevent disseminated Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection [a type of lung infection that often affects people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)]. It is used in combination with other medications to eliminate H. pylori, a bacterium that causes ulcers. Clarithromycin is in a class of medications called macrolide antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.
-
Antibiotics such as clarithromycin will not work for colds, flu, or other viral infections. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
