Monocef 125mg Injection (Ceftriaxone 125mg)

MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called ‘Cephalosporin‘ which is used to treat various bacterial infections of the brain, lungs, middle ear, abdomen, urinary tract, kidneys, bones, joints, skin, soft tissues, blood, heart, chest, lime disease (caused by tick bites), and gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease). 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. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.

MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG contains ‘Ceftriaxone‘ works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, thereby impairing the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together. This allows holes to appear in the bacterial cell walls, which kills the bacteria. Thus, it helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections.

MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG. The dose of MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG can vary depending upon your condition and severity of the infection. Also, it is recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better as it is an antibiotic, and leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic as well (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience certain common side-effects such as diarrhoea, rashes, changes in results of blood and liver tests, and abnormalities (increases/decrease) in the number of white blood cells and platelets. Not everybody experiences these side-effects. Talk to your doctor if you feel any discomfort while taking MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG.

Before starting MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take MONOCEF INJECTION 125MG on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.
