クラビット is Levofloxacin, a strong antibiotic that is way over prescribed here. Unless your cough is from some sort of crazy bacterial infection it will do sweet fuck all for you. It also has some rather nasty potential side effects and you shouldn't be taking it and doing any strenuous physical activity. One of the more dramatic side effects is it increases the chance of achilles tendon ruptures.
Yeah, I get that shit for virtually everything from this doc. I ran out on Saturday but to be honest, it did seem to stop my cough. I also had an infection in one of my toes (bye bye toenail), from god knows where (onsen? gym shower? there is definitely some soap resistant mutant shit on the floors there and they won't let you wear crocs/sandals to prevent walking on it), that it cleared up. To be honest, I'd feel safer on it now with this hole in my neck, than without it, but yeah, I'll see what they do for me tomorrow...
