About Nostof 250Mg Injection 1's

Nostof 250Mg Injection 1's belongs to the group of antibiotics called 'cephalosporin' used to treat various bacterial infections of the nose, lungs, ear, bones, joints, skin, urinary tract, prostate gland and reproductive system. Besides this, Nostof 250Mg Injection 1's also used before surgeries to prevent post-surgical bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Nostof 250Mg Injection 1's to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread, brown rice should be included in your diet.
