Mechanism of Action

Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, preventing the formation of essential proteins required for bacterial growth and replication. This bacteriostatic action helps control the infection and allows the immune system to clear the bacteria effectively.
