About AYCIN 500MG INJECTION

AYCIN 500MG INJECTION belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called aminoglycosides used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infection can be defined as the proliferation/multiplication of harmful strains of bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick.

AYCIN 500MG INJECTION works by inhibiting the production of bacterial proteins which are necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Thereby, leads to the death of the bacterial cell. Thus, AYCIN 500MG INJECTION helps treat bacterial infections.

In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as irritation at the site of application, skin rash, nausea, and vomiting. Most of these side-effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side-effects persistently.
