About Omnirom 1gm Injection

Omnirom 1gm 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. It is also used in the treatment of infections in neutropenic and immunocompromised patients. A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Omnirom 1gm Injection is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and not effective for viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Omnirom 1gm Injection contains Cefpirome, an antibiotic belonging to the fourth-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. 

Omnirom 1gm 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. Omnirom 1gm Injection should be taken as advised by your doctor. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.
