nation with other antitubercular medicines. It works by limiting the further growth of TB bacteria. It is not currently indicated for the treatment of any other infections because of its complications and interaction issues. Directions for use of Ambistryn S 1 Gm Inj should be strictly followed.

Monitoring of kidney function tests, hearing tests, and urine tests are conducted during this injection treatment. Ambistryn S 1 Gm Inj is contraindicated in pregnancy.
