 How It Works

• Roxid 150mg Tablet is a macrolide antibiotic that stops bacteria from growing by stopping them from making proteins.
• It sticks to the bacteria's 50S ribosomal subunit, which stops them from making proteins that are necessary for life.
• This stops bacteria from multiplying and lets the body's immune system get rid of the infection.
