It is not effective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.
Active Ingredient and How It Works
- Erythromycin Stearate (250 mg): This active ingredient belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of essential proteins that bacteria need to grow and multiply. This action either kills the bacteria or stops them from spreading, allowing the body’s immune system to clear the infection
