What does it do?

Spiramycin is a macrolide antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections. It is primarily included in combination antibiotic formulations and is effective against various bacteria. It acts systemically depending on the site of infection to suppress bacterial proliferation.

Spiramycin interferes with bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacteria from multiplying. As a result, the number of bacteria causing the infection decreases, leading to therapeutic effects.

Approved uses differ by product. Check each product's information for its actual use.
