How Roxid Tablet Works
Roxid 150 Tablet works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria. It does so by blocking the action of an enzyme required by bacteria to make proteins, which are essential for their survival and reproduction. By stopping the bacteria from producing these proteins, roxithromycin prevents the bacteria from growing and spreading, allowing your body to recover from the infection.
