Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml

Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract (bronchitis), ear (otitis media), lungs (pneumonia), skin, brain and toxoplasmosis (infection caused by a bacteria called toxoplasma). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu. 

Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole. Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids in the bacterial cell, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml stops the growth of bacteria and kills them. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections.

Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as high levels of potassium in the blood, palpitations (abnormal heartbeats), thrush or candidiasis (fungal infection), headache, nausea, diarrhoea, and skin rashes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Before starting Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), severe kidney or liver problems, porphyria (blood disorder), or blood problems which may cause bleeding or bruising.

Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract (bronchitis), ear (otitis media), lungs (pneumonia), skin, brain and toxoplasmosis (infection caused by a bacteria called toxoplasma). Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Trimethoprim (folic acid inhibitors) and Sulfamethoxazole (sulfonamides). Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids in the bacterial cell, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Nemotriv Infusion 15 ml kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections.

• Antibiotics can alter the useful bacteria in the stomach, which help in digestion. Therefore, you are advised to take foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, kefir, sauerkraut, tempeh, kimchi, miso, kombucha, buttermilk, natto and cheese.
• Eat fibre-rich food like whole grains, beans, lentils, berries, broccoli, peas and bananas.
• Avoid foods rich in calcium, grapefruit and grapefruit juice as they might hinder the absorption of antibiotics.
• Avoid consumption of alcohol and usage of tobacco.
