Medicine Description entocid-h
Entocid-H Tablets is a medication that combines the antimicrobial effects of cliquinol, streptomycin, and HNBB to address gastrointestinal infections. Cliquinol acts by inhibiting the growth of various pathogens, particularly protozoa and certain bacteria, thereby reducing infection levels in the intestinal tract. Streptomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, works by binding to the bacterial ribosome, disrupting protein synthesis, and leading to bacterial cell death. HNBB enhances the effects of the other two components by promoting gut health and fostering a balanced microbiome, which helps in the recovery from intestinal infections.
