It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and thus prevents the binding of minoacyl-tRNA to the mRNA-ribosome complex which in turn prevents protein synthesis in the bacterium. It also aids in the production of lactic acid in the intestine, thereby preventing pathogens or bad bacteria from entering and growing. The lactic acid produced by this medication helps in restoring gastrointestinal health.
