About Hicoly 1Million IU Injection

Hicoly 1Million IU Injection belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections.

Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Sometimes, you may experience common side effects like injection site reactions, renal damage, visual disturbances, GI disturbances, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and muscle weakness.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise
