About Tigevar Injection
Tigevar Injection belongs to the class of 'antibiotics,' primarily used to treat bacterial infections like abdominal infections, community-acquired pneumonia (lung infection), and complicated skin and skin structure infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Tigevar Injection does not work for viral infections, such as common cold and flu.
Tigevar Injection contains 'Tigecycline' that belongs to the class of 'glycylcyclines'. It works by preventing the synthesis of bacterial proteins, which are the primary cursors for carrying out bacteria's vital functions. This process further inhibits bacterial growth.
Tigevar Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer it. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of Tigevar Injection based on your medical condition. Like all medicines, Tigevar Injection also causes side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Tigevar Injection include nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, headache, and abnormal liver function tests. If any of these effects persist or worsen, seek medical advice promptly.
Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to Tigevar Injection or any of its components. Let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver diseases, colitis (inflammation of the inner lining of the colon), and pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas). Tigevar Injection is not recommended during pregnancy due to its harmful effects on the baby. It is advised to consult your doctor if you are breastfeeding before taking Tigevar Injection. Tigevar Injection can make you feel dizzy; hence drive or operate machinery only when you are alert. Tigevar Injection is not recommended in children below eight years of age.
