How does the Drug work
◉Clarithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth and replication of bacteria. It does this by binding to the bacterial 50S ribosomal subunit, which is responsible for protein synthesis. This binding disrupts the normal process of translation, preventing the bacteria from producing the proteins needed for growth and replication.
