Product Overview
Enthrocin is a medication containing the active ingredient Erythromycin Stearate. It is available in tablet form. Erythromycin Stearate is a type of macrolide antibiotic that works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria responsible for causing various infections. Enthrocin is commonly prescribed for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and certain sexually transmitted diseases.
Uses
Enthrocin is widely used in the treatment of bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Haemophilus influenzae, and others. Common conditions treated with Enthrocin include bronchitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, cellulitis, and urethritis. It is important to note that Enthrocin is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
How to Use
Enthrocin tablets should be taken orally with a full glass of water, preferably on an empty stomach, unless otherwise directed by your doctor. It is important to take this medication exactly as prescribed, usually one hour before or two hours after meals. Swallow the tablets whole; do not crush, chew, or break them. If you are prescribed a liquid suspension form, shake the bottle well before each use to ensure proper mixing. Follow your doctor’s instructions carefully, and complete the full course of treatment even if you start to feel better.
How it Works
Enthrocin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and reproduction of bacteria. It does this by binding to the bacterial ribosome, the cellular structure responsible for protein production. By interfering with protein synthesis, Enthrocin effectively inhibits bacterial growth and proliferation, ultimately leading to their death. This mechanism of action makes it an effective treatment for a wide range of bacterial infections.
Dosage and Administration
The dosage of Enthrocin may vary depending on the type and severity of the infection, as well as the patient’s age, weight, and renal function. It is important to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding the correct dosage and duration of treatment. Do not exceed the prescribed dose or duration of treatment without consulting your doctor. In some cases, your doctor may perform bacterial cultures or sensitivity tests to determine the most appropriate antibiotic therapy.
