Zoclar 250 Tablet 4 contains clarithromycin (250 mg), which has the following effects on your body:

• Binds to Ribosomal Subunits: Clarithromycin acts by reversibly binding to the 50S subunit of susceptible bacteria. This subunit is involved in protein synthesis within the bacteria.

• Suppresses Protein Synthesis: Clarithromycin inhibits a crucial step in protein synthesis known as transpeptidation/translocation by binding to the ribosomal subunit. It also stimulates the dissociation of peptidyl-tRNA molecules from ribosomes.

• Inhibits Bacterial Growth: The above actions lead to impaired bacterial growth, thereby helping manage bacterial infections effectively.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Clarithromycin is effective against a wide range of gram-positive aerobes, some gram-negative aerobes, anaerobic bacteria, and intracellular pathogens. It is particularly effective against atypical pathogens.
