Zecatrin is a medication that belongs to a class of drugs known as antibiotics, which are used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the growth of bacteria, thereby helping the body's immune system to fight off the infection more effectively. Zecatrin is commonly prescribed for respiratory infections, skin infections, urinary tract infections, and other conditions caused by bacteria. It is important to take Zecatrin exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to complete the full course of treatment to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. Like all antibiotics, Zecatrin is not effective against viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
