How Azithromycin + Cefixime + Lactobacillus works
Azithromycin is a macrolide antibiotic. It works by binding to the 50S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, which prevents the bacteria from growing by inhibiting protein synthesis.
Cefixime is a cephalosporin antibiotic. It works by disrupting bacterial cell wall formation. It does this by binding to specific proteins inside the bacteria that are crucial for building cell walls.
Lactobacillus is a probiotic or beneficial bacteria. It helps rebalance the gut flora, which might be disrupted by the use of antibiotics.
