As a result, Spiramycin has the ability to inhibit the growth of bacteria at the stage of cell division.
Ingredients Metronidazol is also an antibiotic. This substance is reduced by bacterial nitroreductase to toxic intermediates. These substances bind to the helix structure of the DNA molecule, stopping the replication process, eventually causing the cell to die. Metronidazole has a broad spectrum of activity, active against most anaerobic bacteria and many types of protozoa.
