About Curetox Tablet

SPIRAMYCIN belongs to a group of medicines known as macrolide antibiotics primarily used to treat cryptosporidiosis (a diarrheal disease caused by microscopic parasites, cryptosporidium), susceptible infections, and soft tissue infections. It is also used to treat a parasitic infection known as toxoplasmosis in pregnant women. It helps to lower the risk of transmission of toxoplasma infection from the mother to the unborn child. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grows in the body and causes infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Toxoplasmosis infection can cause complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and damage to a baby’s brain and other organs, particularly the eyes, at birth or early childhood, or even as adults with a weak immune system.

SPIRAMYCIN contains ‘Spiramycin,’ an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections of the abdomen, bone, skin, heart, and soft tissues. It may also be used to reduce the risk of a serious parasite infection (toxoplasmosis) spreading to an unborn baby during pregnancy. SPIRAMYCIN works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which inhibits bacterial growth. It shows a bacteriostatic effect, which stops bacterial and parasitic reproduction but doesn't kill them.
