Finecef 1gm Injection

Product Overview
Finecef 1gm Injection is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in the body. It is effective in managing infections of the brain (such as meningitis), lungs (including pneumonia), ears, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues, bones and joints, bloodstream, and heart.

This injection is also used to prevent infections during surgical procedures. It is administered either intravenously (through a drip or injection into a vein) or intramuscularly under medical supervision. The dosage and frequency are determined by your doctor based on your specific condition. It is important to follow the treatment schedule carefully and complete the full course to avoid relapse or worsening of the infection.

Common side effects may include diarrhea, skin rash, changes in liver function, and variations in blood cell counts such as increased eosinophils, decreased white blood cells, or reduced platelet levels. You might also experience redness or pain at the injection site. These effects are usually mild, but inform your healthcare provider if they persist or cause discomfort.

Before starting treatment, inform your doctor if you have allergies to antibiotics or suffer from kidney or liver issues. Additionally, provide a list of other medications you are taking to avoid possible interactions.
