Overview Meroplan 500mg Injection
Infectia 500mg injection, a potent antibiotic, combats severe bacterial infections affecting vital organs, including the skin, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, urinary system, bloodstream, and central nervous system (such as meningitis). Its mechanism involves bacterial eradication. Crucially, it's ineffective against viral infections. Primarily administered intravenously (IV) – either by infusion or direct injection – under strict medical supervision in hospitalized patients with critical conditions, dosage is infection-specific, considering severity and location. Complete the prescribed course, even with rapid symptom improvement, to prevent relapse or exacerbation. Common, usually transient, side effects may include headache, nausea, bowel irregularities (constipation or diarrhea), anemia, vomiting, and skin rashes. Persistent or bothersome side effects warrant medical attention. Pre-treatment disclosure of epilepsy, hepatic or renal impairment, or antibiotic allergies is essential. Regular blood tests, monitoring blood cell counts and renal function, might be recommended during treatment. Generally considered safe for pregnant and breastfeeding individuals under physician guidance.
