How Azikem 100mg/5ml Oral Suspension works

It acts like a traffic jam for bacteria. It messes up their protein-making machinery by blocking a key road called the 50S subunit in their ribosome. This disruption stops them from translating important messages (mRNA) needed for protein production. The cool part is that it doesn't mess with their genetic material. So, essentially, it throws a wrench into the bacteria's plans to grow and spread, helping your body fight off infections more effectively.
