Azithromycin is an antibiotic which stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Cefpodoxime Proxetil is also an antibiotic which works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering which is essential for the survival of bacteria.
