Cefantral 500mg Injection 5ml

Introduction to Cefantral 500mg Injection 5ml

Cefantral 500mg Injection 5ml contains Cefotaxime which belongs to the class of antibiotics known as cephalosporins,

Cefotaxime employs its unique rings to bind to crucial proteins in bacteria, disrupting their ability to build protective walls. This disruption weakens the bacteria, hindering their survival and acting as a preventive measure against their defensive constructions.

This medicine should only be administered by your doctor or nurse, and self administration should be avoided. Rely on your healthcare professional for proper administration, ensuring the medication is received accurately.

Common side effects may include hypersensitivity, gastrointestinal disorders, dizziness, stomach pain, increased heartbeat, and difficult or painful urination. If these symptoms persist, consulting your doctor is advisable.

Individuals with a known allergy to cephalosporins or penicillin may be at an increased risk of hypersensitivity reactions to Cefotaxime Cross reactivity between cephalosporins and penicillin  is possible, and in case of severe allergic reactions like anaphylaxis, immediate discontinuation of the medication is necessary. Cefotaxime, like other cephalosporins, may interfere with vitamin K metabolism, potentially leading to bleeding disorders. This risk is higher in patients with preexisting coagulation disorders or those receiving concurrent therapy with anticoagulants Close monitoring of coagulation parameters is advisable in such cases.

Your doctor or nurse closely monitors your treatment schedule to minimize the chances of missing a dose. If you suspect a missed dose, promptly inform them. They are there to ensure you receive the right treatment at the right time, maintaining the effectiveness of the therapy.
