Althrocin-250 Tablet contains erythromycin as its active ingredient.
It acts as a bacteriostatic antibiotic, which means it stops bacteria from growing and reproducing.
Erythromycin achieves this by targeting the protein synthesis process in bacteria cells. By stopping this process, erythromycin prevents bacteria from producing essential proteins that are necessary for their growth.
This action ultimately leads to the inability of bacteria to multiply and spread, allowing the body's immune system to effectively eliminate the infection.
By targeting the bacteria responsible, Althrocin-250 Tablet helps manage various types of infections caused by these organisms.
