About MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION

MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called cephalosporins used to treat respiratory tract infection, urinary tract infection, skin, intraabdominal, gynaecological, bacterial meningitis (infection of brain and spinal cord) in children, and infection of the bloodstream. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.
 
MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival. Thereby, kills the bacteria and helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections. MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION is a broad-spectrum antibiotic active against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
 
In some cases, MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION may cause common side-effects such as diarrhoea, rashes, anaemia, pain and inflammation at the site of injection. 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.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. MAXICEF 250MG INJECTION is safe for children if prescribed by a doctor; the dose and duration may vary depending on the child’s weight and the severity of the infection. Inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking and your health condition to rule out any unpleasant side effects/interactions.
