Firom Plus Injection is an antibiotic medicine used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It is used in treating mild to moderate infections of the nose, ears, skin, throat, urinary tract, and lungs (such as pneumonia and bronchitis (infection in the airway tubes)) 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. Firom Plus Injection is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and is not effective for viral infections like the flu or a common cold.

Firom Plus Injection contains Cefpirome and Sulbactam. It works by inhibiting the synthesis of the bacterial cell wall (a protective covering) that is necessary for their survival.

Firom Plus Injection may cause certain side effects, such as indigestion, diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, headache, pain at the injection site, and stomach pain. If these side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.

Avoid taking Firom Plus Injection if you are allergic to it or any other penicillin or cephalosporin 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. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving Firom Plus Injection. 

Firom Plus Injection contains Cefpirome (a cephalosporin antibiotic) and Sulbactam (beta-lactamase inhibitor). Cefpirome 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. Sulbactam inhibits the action of beta-lactamase. Beta-lactamase is an enzyme bacteria produce that can destroy antibiotics (cefotaxime). Firom Plus 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.

Firom Plus Injection should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any other antibiotics. Keep your doctor informed about your complete health condition, including current medication and medical history, to rule out any side effects or interactions. Before administration, inform your doctor if you have/had any history of liver and kidney disease. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving Firom Plus Injection. Consult your doctor about using Firom Plus Injection in children. Do not discontinue or abruptly stop the medication, as it may lead to antibiotic resistance, a condition where bacteria become resistant to antibiotics.

• Include more fiber-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate growth.
• Fiber foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics.
• Avoid taking too much calcium or iron-enriched foods, as it might affect the working of Firom Plus Injection.
• After taking the full course of Firom Plus Injection, probiotics should be taken to restore some healthy bacteria that may have been killed in the intestines.

• Inform your doctor if you are allergic to penicillin or other antibiotics.
• If you take aminoglycoside antibiotics such as streptomycin and gentamicin, your kidney function should be regularly monitored.

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 you get infected with these germs, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Generally, individuals with a weak immune system are more prone to infections.
