Overview Eczas 1gm Injection
Carbapenem antibiotic Eczas 1g Injection combats bacterial infections. Indicated for severe infections affecting the skin, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, bloodstream, and central nervous system (including meningitis), it acts by eliminating causative bacteria. Primarily used in hospitalized patients with serious illnesses, administration is intravenous, either by infusion or direct injection, under medical supervision. Dosage is tailored to infection type, location, and severity. Continue the prescribed course, even with rapid symptom improvement; premature cessation risks relapse or infection exacerbation. Potential side effects include diarrhea, nausea, headache, and phlebitis. These are usually transient, resolving as the body adapts. Report persistent or bothersome side effects to your physician. Prior to treatment, disclose any epilepsy, hepatic or renal impairment, or antibiotic allergies. Blood tests to monitor hematologic parameters and renal function may be recommended during therapy. Generally considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding under medical guidance.
