Paraxin 250 Capsule 10 contains chloramphenicol (250 mg). Here's how it works:

• Bacteriostatic Effect: Chloramphenicol doesn't kill bacteria directly. Instead, it inhibits their growth and reproduction. This is done by attaching itself to the bacteria's ribosome and blocking protein synthesis.

• Broad Spectrum Activity: Chloramphenicol is effective against a wide range of bacteria including both gram-positive and gram-negative types, as well as other microorganisms like chlamydia, rickettsia, and mycoplasma.

• Keep your Paraxin 250 Capsule 10 at room temperature.

• Protect it from light and keep it in a dry place.

• Make sure it's stored where children cannot reach it.

• Check the expiry date before use and discard if past this date.

• If you're taking Paraxin 250 Capsule 10 for an infection like typhoid, ensure you maintain good hygiene habits, including thorough handwashing, to prevent the spreading of bacteria.

• For respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis, avoid smoking as it can further damage your lungs and make recovery slower.
