Wocol 125 MG Suspension 60 ML contains Chloramphenicol (125 mg), which acts within your body in the following ways:

• Bacterial protein synthesis inhibition: Chloramphenicol binds to a part of the bacterial ribosome known as the 50S subunit. This attachment prevents the creation of new peptide bonds, which are essential for protein synthesis. Without protein synthesis, the bacteria can't grow or replicate.

• Bacteriostatic effect: At standard concentrations, Chloramphenicol stops bacterial growth, a property known as being bacteriostatic. This pause in growth allows your body's immune system to eliminate the bacteria.

• Bactericidal action: At higher concentrations, Chloramphenicol can directly kill bacteria, a property known as being bactericidal. This dual action, both stopping growth and killing bacteria, makes Chloramphenicol a versatile antibiotic.

• Keep your Wocol 125 MG Suspension 60 ML stored at room temperature.
