Rovamycin Forte Tablet 10's

Rovamycin Forte Tablet belongs to a group of medicines known as macrolide antibiotics primarily used to treat cryptosporidiosis (a diarrheal disease caused by microscopic parasites, cryptosporidium), susceptible infections, and soft tissue infections. It is also used to treat a parasitic infection known as toxoplasmosis in pregnant women. It helps to lower the risk of transmission of toxoplasma infection from the mother to the unborn child. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grows in the body and causes infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly. Toxoplasmosis infection can cause complications such as miscarriage, stillbirth, and damage to a baby’s brain and other organs, particularly the eyes, at birth or early childhood, or even as adults with a weak immune system.

Rovamycin Forte Tablet contains ‘Spiramycin,’ an antibiotic that treats bacterial infections of the abdomen, bone, skin, heart, and soft tissues. It may also be used to reduce the risk of a serious parasite infection (toxoplasmosis) spreading to an unborn baby during pregnancy. Rovamycin Forte Tablet works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, which inhibits bacterial growth. It shows a bacteriostatic effect, which stops bacterial and parasitic reproduction but doesn't kill them.

When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms like fevers, chills, and fatigue. Bacteria are of various forms comprising, commonly spherical, rod, and spiral-shaped. Bacterial infections vary from minor illnesses like sore throat and ear infections to severe brain infections like meningitis and encephalitis. Few harmful bacteria that cause infections include Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. But, people with weak immune systems or taking immunosuppressive medicine can make you more prone to bacterial infection.

Toxoplasmosis: is an infection caused by parasites toxoplasma gondii found in contaminated food and cat feces. It can cause serious complications for pregnant women, such as miscarriage, stillbirths, and damage to the baby’s brain and other organs, particularly the eyes, at birth or early childhood, and people with weakened immune systems. Symptoms include muscle pain, fever, headache, etc.
