Megazolid 600 Tablet contains linezolid (600 mg) which operates in the body as follows:

• Blocks Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Linezolid obstructs the process of protein synthesis in bacteria. This is achieved by binding to a specific component of bacterial cells known as the 23S ribosomal RNA of the 50S subunit.

• Stops Bacterial Growth: By preventing the formation of a functional 70S initiation complex, which is essential for protein synthesis and hence bacterial growth and replication, linezolid effectively stops bacteria from growing and spreading.

• The ideal temperature for storage is between 20-25°C.
