How Does Zyto Tablet Work?

Zyto tablet contains the active ingredient azithromycin that prevents the growth of bacteria that cause infections. By attaching itself to the 50S ribosomal subunit, this macrolide antibiotic prevents bacteria from synthesizing vital proteins necessary for their survival and reproduction. Due to this effect, bacteria cannot proliferate or develop, making it easier for the body's immune system to eliminate the infection.
