Polyzan Injection

Polyzan Injection belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections such as urinary tract infections, meningitis, bloodstream infections, and corneal and subconjunctival eye infections caused by susceptible organisms.

Polyzan Injection contains Polymyxin B, which works by destroying bacterial cell membranes and killing infection-causing bacteria. Thereby, it helps treat bacterial infections.

In some cases, Polyzan Injection may cause side effects such as pain at the injection site, flushing, dizziness, and diarrhoea. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, consult a doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.

Let the doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Polyzan Injection. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
