Mechanism of Action
Azithromycin works by blocking bacterial protein synthesis, which prevents bacteria from growing, multiplying, and spreading. Over time, this stops the infection and allows the immune system to clear the remaining bacteria.
It stays in tissues for a longer time compared to many other antibiotics which is why short courses still give strong results.
