Mechanism of Action

Azithromycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, preventing the production of essential proteins required for bacterial growth and replication. This action helps stop the spread of infection and supports the body’s natural immune response.
