Medicine Description rame-zithro 200 mg/ 5 ml
rame-zithro 200 mg/ 5 ml susp is a medication that belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics. Its primary mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria. This interaction prevents the translocation of peptides during protein synthesis, effectively halting bacterial growth and replication. Rame-Zithro is effective against a variety of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens. By disrupting protein production, it diminishes the ability of bacteria to perform essential functions necessary for survival and reproduction, leading to eventual bacterial cell death.
