How it works

How Pifoxacin Syrup works Pifoxacin DS 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic. It interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well. Thus, it kills the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and prevents the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.How Pifoxacin Syrup works Pifoxacin DS 50mg Syrup is an antibiotic.
