Avicin Syrup is an antibiotic that interferes with the genetic material of bacteria by implanting defects in its DNA. These defects hamper the multiplication of the bacteria and affect its survival as well, killing the infection-causing bacteria from growing further and preventing the infection from spreading without making them resistant to further treatment.
