Ceftiwem Injection

Ceftiwem Injection is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is used in treating mild to moderate nose, skin, throat, urinary tract, and lung infections caused by bacteria. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Ceftiwem Injection is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and not effective for viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Ceftiwem Injection contains Ceftizoxime, an antibiotic belonging to the third-generation cephalosporin class of drugs. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections. 

Ceftiwem Injection may cause certain side effects, such as indigestion, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, headache, pain at the site of injection, and stomach pain. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. Ceftiwem Injection should be taken as advised by your doctor. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.

Ceftiwem Injection should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any other antibiotics. Let your doctor know about your complete medical history, including current medication, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your doctor if you have/had liver and kidney disease. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving Ceftiwem Injection.  

Ceftiwem Injection contains Ceftizoxime an antibiotic belonging to the third-generation cephalosporin class of drugs. It is a broad-spectrum cephalosporin antibiotic that acts against both aerobic (grow in the presence of oxygen) and anaerobic (grow in the absence of oxygen) bacteria. Ceftiwem Injection works by inhibiting the synthesis of the necessary bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) for their survival. This causes damage to the bacterial cell wall and eventually leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, it prevents the growth of bacterial infections.

Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter, grow, and infect the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. These infections vary from minor illnesses to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. When your child gets infected with these germs, they can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Children with a weak immune system are more prone to infections.
