Althrocin 125 mg (Erythromycin)
Althrocin 125 mg contains erythromycin, a macrolide antibiotic widely used for respiratory, skin, ear, dental and soft-tissue bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from growing and multiplying. Erythromycin is especially useful in patients who are allergic to penicillins.
