Composition

• Active Ingredient: Erythromycin

• Strength: 125 mg per 5 ml

• Dosage Form: Oral suspension

Therapeutic Class

Macrolide Antibiotic

Mechanism of Action

Erythromycin acts by binding to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. This prevents bacteria from growing and multiplying. The drug is primarily bacteriostatic, but at higher concentrations or against highly susceptible organisms, it may exhibit bactericidal effects.

Etrocin Suspension is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and some gram-negative bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens.
