Medicine Description epizithro 200 mg
epizithro 200 mg syrup is a medication that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Azithromycin binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, which interferes with the translocation process of amino acids during protein synthesis. This action ultimately halts bacterial growth and replication, making it effective against a variety of Gram-positive and Gram-negative organisms, as well as atypical pathogens. Its long half-life allows for extended action against infections, reducing the frequency of dosing and improving patient compliance.
