• Inhibits Protein Synthesis: Azithromycin binds to a specific part of bacterial cells known as the 50S ribosomal subunit. This action prevents proteins from being made within the bacteria.

• Stops Bacterial Growth: By inhibiting protein synthesis, azithromycin effectively halts the growth and multiplication of bacteria in your body. This action helps manage the infection effectively.
