How it works
Azithromycin 250mg capsules exhibit their antibacterial activity through a unique mechanism of action. Primarily, azithromycin binds to the 50S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. This binding interferes with the translation process, specifically targeting the peptide elongation phase. As a result, the bacteria's ability to produce essential proteins required for their survival and replication is disrupted. Azithromycin is particularly effective because it exhibits a long half-life, allowing for prolonged intracellular concentrations, which contributes to its efficacy against a wide range of bacterial infections.
