How It Works
Azithromycin works by binding to bacterial ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis, which prevents bacterial growth and replication. This bacteriostatic action makes it effective in treating a wide range of infections, especially those resistant to other antibiotics. Its long half-life allows once-daily dosing, improving adherence and treatment outcomes.
