Ambistryn S 0.75 G Description

Ambistryn S Injection is a class of antibiotics primarily used to treat moderate to severe tuberculosis and other respiratory infections like pneumonia and influenza. It is mainly used to treat tuber

culosis when all other primary agents don't work. It kills the bacteria by inhibiting the protein synthesis in them. Ambistryn S Injection is given through an intramuscular route. It should be taken as per the dose and duration prescribed by your physician. An entire vaccination course should be taken to avoid antibiotic resistance-related complications. This injection's most common side effects include diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, allergic reactions, and fever. Most of the side effects are mild and don’t interfere with day-to-day life. Most side effects subside in a few days.
