About BACIROM INJECTION 1GM

BACIROM INJECTION 1GM 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. BACIROM INJECTION 1GM is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and not effective for viral infections like flu or a common cold.

BACIROM INJECTION 1GM 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. 

BACIROM INJECTION 1GM 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. BACIROM INJECTION 1GM should be taken as advised by your doctor. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.

BACIROM INJECTION 1GM should be avoided if you are allergic to it or any other antibiotics. Let your doctor know about your complete medical history, including current medication, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before administration, inform your doctor if you have/had liver and kidney disease. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before receiving BACIROM INJECTION 1GM.
