Hi,
Anti-Bio is a semi synthetic macrolide antibiotics is very similar in composition, chemical structure and mechanism of action to erythromycin, azithromycin or clarithromycin. It prevents bacteria from growing by interfering with their protein synthesis. It is used to treat ear, nose, throat, respiratory tract, skin and soft tissue infections and infections of genitalia etc. Side effects of Anti-Bio are nausea, vomiting, GIT upset, stomach pain, headache, muscle aches, joint pain, watering of eyes, weakness, fatigue, dizziness, allergic reactions etc. Most of these side effects are disappeared after stopping the medication. But, if the side effects persist, consult your doctor.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
