About this product

Overview

FORTUM INJECTION 1GM contains the active ingredient Ceftazidime. It is formulated as an injectable antibiotic used for the treatment of bacterial infections. Ceftazidime belongs to a class of medications known as cephalosporin antibiotics, which work by inhibiting the growth and spread of bacteria.

Uses

FORTUM INJECTION 1GM is prescribed for the following purposes:

  1. Bacterial Infections: It is used to treat various bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, septicemia, and bacterial meningitis.
  2. Hospital-Acquired Infections: Ceftazidime may be used in the treatment of hospital-acquired infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant bacteria or Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Side Effects

While FORTUM INJECTION 1GM is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience side effects, including:

  1. Gastrointestinal Upset: Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal discomfort. Taking the medication with food or a full glass of water may help alleviate gastrointestinal symptoms.
  2. Allergic Reactions: Rarely, individuals may experience allergic reactions such as skin rash, itching, or hives. In severe cases, allergic reactions may manifest as swelling of the face, lips, or tongue, difficulty breathing, or anaphylaxis.
  3. Injection Site Reactions: Pain, redness, or swelling at the injection site may occur with intravenous administration of Ceftazidime.
  4. Superinfection: Prolonged use of antibiotics like Ceftazidime may lead to the development of secondary fungal or bacterial infections.

It is important to consult your healthcare provider if any severe or persistent side effects are experienced.

Precautions

Before using FORTUM INJECTION 1GM, consider the following precautions:

  1. Medical History: Inform your healthcare provider about any existing medical conditions, especially allergies to cephalosporin antibiotics or other medications.
  2. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: FORTUM INJECTION should be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if recommended by a healthcare professional. Discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.
  3. Renal Impairment: Adjustments to the dosage of Ceftazidime may be necessary in individuals with renal impairment to prevent accumulation and potential toxicity.

When Not to Use

Avoid using FORTUM INJECTION 1GM if:

  1. Allergic Reaction: You have a known allergy to Ceftazidime or any other cephalosporin antibiotics.
  2. Severe Hypersensitivity: Ceftazidime is contraindicated in individuals with a history of severe hypersensitivity reactions (e.g., anaphylaxis) to any beta-lactam antibiotics.
