Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Vibramycin Work?

Vibramycin works by inhibiting the bacteria's ability to produce proteins, which are essential for their survival. It specifically binds to the bacterial ribosomes, blocking the production of proteins the bacteria need to grow and multiply. Without these proteins, the bacteria cannot reproduce, which helps your body’s immune system to eliminate the infection. Whether it’s used for acne, respiratory infections, or other bacterial conditions, Vibramycin targets the bacteria responsible for helping clear up the infection.
