HOW ELTOCIN DS TABLET WORKS
ELTOCIN
DS TABLET contains erythromycin, a bacteriostatic in action that
manages the further growth of bacteria rather than directly killing the
bacteria. Erythromycin works by blocking protein synthesis in the
bacteria. It does not affect protein synthesis in human tissues. When
administered orally, it is easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal
system. Thus, ELTOCIN DS TABLET manages bacterial infections.
