Description

Tromycetin injection is an antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections such as typhoid fever, meningitis caused by certain bacteria like Haemophilus influenzae, and other severe infections. It contains chloramphenicol as an active ingredient. It works by stopping the bacteria from making proteins they need to grow, which helps your body fight off the infection more effectively.

This medicine should not be used if you are allergic to chloramphenicol or any of its ingredients. It is also not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks. Some common side effects include vomiting, nausea, diarrhoea, taste changes, and pain or redness at the injection site.

Tromycetin injection can interact with other medications. It may increase the effects of blood thinners, diabetes drugs, and seizure medications, so your doctor may need to adjust those doses. On the other hand, some drugs like phenobarbital and rifampicin can reduce how well Tromycetin injection works. Always tell your doctor about any other medications you are taking.

This medicine will be given to you by a doctor or nurse, so you do not need to worry about missing a dose or taking too much. You will be monitored closely, especially if you have liver or kidney issues. It is essential to inform your healthcare provider if you experience persistent fatigue, bruise easily, or frequently develop infections, as these may be signs of a serious blood disorder.

Do not use this medicine on your own. The procedure will be performed in a hospital setting, and your doctor or nurse will guide you through the process. Ensure that you follow all instructions before and after the injection. Additionally, if you are on a low-sodium diet or have recently received a vaccine, please inform your doctor.
