ZOCEF 1.5GM INJ

Zocef 1.5gm Injection belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics indicated to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and skin structure infections, septicemia (blood infection), meningitis (infection of brain and spinal cord), gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted infections), bone and joint infections. Zocef 1.5gm Injection is also used to prevent infections during surgery.

Zocef 1.5gm Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against a wide range of bacteria. It works by blocking the activity of an enzyme that makes peptidoglycan (a vital component of the bacterial cell wall). This prevents the formation of bacterial cell covering, thereby kills the bacteria and treats bacterial infection.

A healthcare expert will administer Zocef 1.5gm Injection; do not self-administer. In some cases, Zocef 1.5gm Injection may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, pain, and swelling at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know about your medical condition and the medications you are taking to avoid the occurrence of potential interactions. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, suspect you are pregnant or plan to have a baby; your doctor will weigh the benefits of Zocef 1.5gm Injection therapy against the risk to your baby. Zocef 1.5gm Injection may cause dizziness, so drive only if you are alert.
