MACLID VISCOUS 200 ML

About

MACLID VISCOUS 200 ML contains a macrolide antibiotic, formulated as a viscous suspension for oral administration. Macrolides exert their antibacterial effect by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby stopping bacterial growth and replication. This class of antibiotics is particularly effective against a range of Gram-positive bacteria, as well as atypical pathogens like Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, and Legionella, which are common causes of respiratory tract infections. The viscous formulation is often designed to improve palatability, especially for pediatric patients, ensuring better compliance. It is widely used for treating various infections, including those of the respiratory tract, skin, and soft tissues, offering a reliable treatment option for susceptible bacterial strains.
