The mechanism of action of Moazil 250mg Tablet involves inhibiting the proliferation of harmful bacteria by inhibiting the synthesis of a vital protein necessary for their growth.

Moazil 250mg Tablet contains azithromycin, a broad-spectrum bacteriostatic macrolide antibiotic that stops the bacterial growth. To reproduce, bacteria need a precise mechanism for generating proteins, which involves ribosomal proteins 6. However, azithromycin interacts with the 50S ribosomal subunit by attaching to the 23S rRNA.

This interaction disrupts the transpeptidation/translocation phase and the assembly of the 50S ribosomal subunit, which ultimately prevents the production of proteins in the bacteria. As a result, azithromycin effectively controls bacterial infection.
