How Azipro 250 Works

Azithromycin belongs to a class of antibiotics known as macrolides. It works by binding to bacterial ribosomes, inhibiting protein synthesis that is essential for bacterial growth and survival. By stopping bacterial multiplication, it allows the immune system to naturally remove the remaining bacteria, leading to complete recovery.

It has a long tissue half-life, which allows for once-daily dosing and shorter treatment durations compared to many other antibiotics.
