Comprehensive Drug Guide
How Does Dazomon Work?
Dazomon works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes that are essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. This action prevents the bacteria from reproducing and leads to bacterial cell death. By stopping the growth of the bacteria, Dazomon helps the immune system clear the infection more effectively.
