About Ivirome 1G Inj

Ivirome 1G Inj 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. Ivirome 1G Inj is only effective in treating infections caused by bacteria and not effective for viral infections like flu or a common cold.

Ivirome 1G Inj 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.

Ivirome 1G Inj 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. Ivirome 1G Inj should be taken as advised by your doctor. A trained healthcare professional will administer it. Hence, do not self-administer.

Ivirome 1G Inj 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 Ivirome 1G Inj.
