Introduction to Azikem XL 200mg/5ml Suspension 30ml

This medication contains Azithromycin, an antibiotic used to combat bacterial infections. 

  • It is effective against various types of bacterial infections, including respiratory, skin, ear, and eye infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases.
  • It operates by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria. 
  • It does so by interfering with the synthesis of essential proteins that bacteria need to survive and thrive.

How Azikem XL 200mg/5ml Suspension 30ml 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.
