Zithoter-200 Suspension 30 ml

Zithoter-200 Suspension is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections such as pneumonia, bronchitis, tonsillitis, pharyngitis and sinusitis, acne, ear infections, and sexually transmitted infections. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. 

Zithoter-200 Suspension contains azithromycin, which slows the growth or sometimes kills the harmful bacteria by preventing the production of proteins required by the bacteria for its survival. Zithoter-200 Suspension does not treat a viral infection like the flu or a common cold.
