About Gertic 400 mg Injection
Gertic 400 mg Injection belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotic, which is used to treat various bacterial infections of the bones, joints, lungs, urinary tract, abdominal wall(peritonitis), and heart(endocarditis). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Gertic 400 mg Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Gertic 400 mg Injection contains teicoplanin works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, thereby impairing the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together. This allows holes to appear in the bacterial cell walls, which kills the bacteria. Thus, it helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections.
Gertic 400 mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer Gertic 400 mg Injection. The dose of Gertic 400 mg Injection can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. It is also recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic. Leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as diarrhoea, rashes, local pain and redness at the injection site, changes in blood and liver test results, and abnormalities (increases/decreases) in the number of white blood cells and platelets. Not everybody experiences these side effects. Talk to your doctor if you feel any discomfort while taking Gertic 400 mg Injection.
