About Ambistryn S 1gm Injection

Ambistryn S 1gm Injection belongs to the group of medicines called 'anti-tuberculosis', primarily used to treat and prevent bacterial infections like tuberculosis (TB), pneumonia, influenza, plague and other infections. Tuberculosis is an infectious bacterial disease that mainly affects the lungs but can also spread to other body parts such as the kidneys, brain, spine, and bone marrow. Ambistryn S 1gm Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus.

Ambistryn S 1gm Injection contains Streptomycin, an antibiotic that prevents the production of an enzyme known as mycolic acids by bacteria essential for cell wall formation (protective coating). Thereby, bacteria get killed without a cell wall and burst due to disruption in their metabolism. Thus, Ambistryn S 1gm Injection is effective against Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which causes TB (tuberculosis) and prevents further infection.

Take Ambistryn S 1gm Injection as prescribed by your doctor. You are advised to use Ambistryn S 1gm Injection for as long as your doctor has prescribed it based on your medical condition. Sometimes, you may experience a skin rash, vomiting, nausea, vertigo, fever and dizziness.

Inform your doctor if you are allergic to Ambistryn S 1gm Injection or other medicines. Disclose your doctor before taking Ambistryn S 1gm Injection if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Ambistryn S 1gm Injection may cause nerve problems, fits or optic neuritis (swelling of the optic nerve that may cause vision loss) in some people. Therefore, avoid driving if you experience these symptoms after taking Ambistryn S 1gm Injection. If you have diabetes, dehydration, kidney or liver problems, or have suffered from psychosis (mental disturbances), inform your doctor before taking Ambistryn S 1gm Injection.
