About Vekacin Injection
Vekacin Injection belongs to the group of medicines known as macrolide antibiotics used to treat infections caused by bacteria. It is prescribed for treating severe infections or when oral therapy is ineffective. Vekacin Injection is indicated in pneumonia (lung infection) and pelvic infections (infection of the reproductive organs). A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiply very quickly.
Vekacin Injection contains 'Azithromycin', which works by killing the bacteria that cause the infection by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Thereby, it effectively treats bacterial infections.
Vekacin Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. You may experience pain, itching, swelling or redness at the site of injection, stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhoea, wind, dizziness, headache, and indigestion. Most of these side effects of Vekacin Injection do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. Please consult your doctor if these side effects become troublesome.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, suspect you are pregnant, plan to have a baby or if you are breastfeeding; your doctor will prescribe Vekacin Injection only if the benefits outweigh the risk. Let your doctor know if you have/had liver problems; your doctor may need to monitor your liver function. Let your doctor know about your medical condition and the medications you are taking to avoid any interactions. Vekacin Injection may cause visual problems, do not drive or use machinery unless you are alert.
