Althrocin 500 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic medicine used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to the macrolide class of antibiotics and contains erythromycin stearate as the active ingredient. This medicine is commonly prescribed to manage infections of the respiratory tract, ears, nose, throat, lungs, and skin. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria that cause these infections. Althrocin does not work against viral infections like the flu or common cold. It is most effective when taken on an empty stomach, as food can interfere with its absorption.

How Althrocin 500 Tablet works
Althrocin 500 Tablet contains erythromycin, which targets the protein-making machinery of bacteria. Bacteria need certain proteins to grow and multiply. Erythromycin binds to bacterial ribosomes and blocks protein synthesis. This prevents the bacteria from carrying out essential functions. As a result, the bacteria stop growing and eventually die off. This action controls the spread of infection and allows the immune system to clear the remaining bacteria. It helps reduce symptoms like fever, cough, and pain. Recovery begins within a few days of regular use. It is important to complete the full course to prevent reinfection or resistance.
