Overview Foctum 1000mg/500mg Injection

InfectoComb 1000mg/500mg Injection, a dual-action antibiotic, combats diverse bacterial infections by inhibiting microbial proliferation and spread. Administration must be under a physician's direct guidance; adhere strictly to the prescribed dosage schedule. Complete the entire treatment course, even with symptom improvement, as premature cessation may compromise efficacy. Typical side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and dyspepsia; consult your doctor if these worsen. Seek immediate medical attention for allergic reactions (rash, pruritus, edema, dyspnea). Inform your physician of all concurrent medications, including those for pre-existing conditions. Pregnant or lactating individuals require medical consultation prior to use. Alcohol consumption should be avoided due to potential additive drowsiness. While generally not impairing driving ability, refrain from driving if experiencing somnolence or vertigo.
