How Zatura Works
Azithromycin belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics. It binds to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby blocking protein synthesis required for bacterial growth and survival.
This action prevents bacteria from multiplying and allows the body’s immune system to eliminate the infection.
Due to its long tissue half-life, Zatura 250 provides sustained antibacterial activity, even after the treatment course is completed.
