Crixan 500 Tablet contains clarithromycin (500 mg), which has the following effects:

• Binds to Bacterial Ribosomes: Clarithromycin binds reversibly to the 50S subunit of bacterial ribosomes. Ribosomes are like factories inside bacteria that make proteins necessary for their growth and survival.

• Suppresses Protein Synthesis: By binding to the ribosomes, clarithromycin blocks protein production in bacteria. This halts their growth and eventually leads to their death.

• Fights a Variety of Organisms: Clarithromycin is effective against a wide range of aerobic (oxygen-loving) and anaerobic (oxygen-hating) gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It also works against most strains of Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC), a group of bacteria that can cause serious infections.
