About GT-Cef 500 Injection
GT-Cef 500 Injection is used to treat bacterial infections of the brain, lungs, middle ear, abdomen, urinary tract, kidneys, bones, joints, skin, soft tissues, blood, heart, chest, lime disease (caused by tick bites), and gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.
GT-Cef 500 Injection contains 'Ceftriaxone', which works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, thereby killing the bacteria. Thus, GT-Cef 500 Injection helps in treating bacterial infection.
In some cases, GT-Cef 500 Injection may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, rashes, changes in results of blood and liver tests, and abnormalities (increase/decrease) in the number of white blood cells and platelets. Although not everybody experiences these side effects, if they occur, consult your doctor.
Talk to your doctor before taking GT-Cef 500 Injection if you have/had received calcium-containing products recently, had diarrhoea after taking antibiotics, inflammation of the bowel, kidney stones, or any other illness.
