Kephazon 2gm Injection

Kephazon 2gm Injection belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat various bacterial infections such as respiratory tract (lungs) infection, urine infection, blood infection, meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord), gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease), skin, abdominal, bone, and joint infections. 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 ill. Kephazon 2gm Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

Kephazon 2gm Injection is an antibiotic that contains Cefoperazone (cephalosporin antibiotic). Kephazon 2gm Injection works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thus preventing cross-linking of nascent peptidoglycan and killing the bacteria. Thereby, Kephazon 2gm Injection helps to treat bacterial infections.

You may experience diarrhoea, allergic reactions, abnormal liver function tests, and anaemia (a low number of red blood cells). Most of these side effects of Kephazon 2gm Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if they persist, consult your doctor.

Before starting Kephazon 2gm Injection, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take Kephazon 2gm Injection on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections. Inform your doctor before taking Kephazon 2gm Injection if you are pregnant or planning for pregnancy. Avoid taking Kephazon 2gm Injection if you are breastfeeding as Kephazon 2gm Injection may pass into breast milk. Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Kephazon 2gm Injection to prevent unpleasant side effects.

Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, kombucha, and kimchi can help to restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
• Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains like whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
