Description

Ag-Ceph 250mg Injection is a powerful antibiotic designed to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It contains Cephradine, a cephalosporin antibiotic that works by interfering with the bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby stopping the growth of bacteria. This injection is specifically used for treating infections in the respiratory tract, gastrointestinal tract, urinary tract, as well as skin and soft tissue infections. It is often used in hospital settings to treat severe infections and prevent complications during surgeries.

Functions

The primary function of Ag-Ceph 250mg Injection is to combat bacterial infections by inhibiting the bacteria's ability to form cell walls, which are essential for their survival. It is effective in treating infections of the respiratory system, including pneumonia and bronchitis, as well as infections of the urinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, skin, and soft tissues. It is also used in the management of more serious infections like septicemia and heart inflammation (endocarditis). Ag-Ceph is also employed to prevent infections during surgeries.

Precautions

Before using Ag-Ceph 250mg Injection, it is important to inform your healthcare provider if you have any allergies, especially to penicillin or cephalosporin antibiotics, as it may lead to an allergic reaction. Caution is advised for patients with kidney problems, and dosage adjustments may be necessary. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication to ensure it is safe. Additionally, patients should follow the prescribed treatment regimen closely and avoid stopping the medication prematurely, even if they feel better, to prevent the recurrence of infection.

Side Effects

Like all medications, Ag-Ceph 250mg Injection can cause side effects. Some of the most common side effects include mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Allergic reactions, though rare, can occur and may present as rash, itching, or swelling. More severe side effects may include pseudomembranous colitis (inflammation of the colon). If you experience difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, or any other serious symptoms, seek immediate medical attention.

Cautions

Ag-Ceph 250mg Injection should not be used by patients who have a known allergy to any of its components, particularly penicillins or cephalosporins. It should be used with caution in individuals with a history of kidney disease, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. This medication should be administered only by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using this medication. Always follow your doctor’s instructions and do not self-administer the injection unless instructed.
