Ivtrim Inj 5Ml

Ivtrim Inj 5Ml belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract (bronchitis), ear (otitis media), lungs (pneumonia), skin, brain and toxoplasmosis (infection caused by a bacteria called toxoplasma). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Ivtrim Inj 5Ml does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu. 

Ivtrim Inj 5Ml is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Trimethoprim and Sulfamethoxazole. Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids in the bacterial cell, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Ivtrim Inj 5Ml stops the growth of bacteria and kills them. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections.

Ivtrim Inj 5Ml will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, you may experience certain common side effects such as high levels of potassium in the blood, palpitations (abnormal heartbeats), thrush or candidiasis (fungal infection), headache, nausea, diarrhoea, and skin rashes. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.

Ivtrim Inj 5Ml belongs to the group of medicines called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat various bacterial infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract (bronchitis), ear (otitis media), lungs (pneumonia), skin, brain and toxoplasmosis (infection caused by a bacteria called toxoplasma). Ivtrim Inj 5Ml is a combination of two antibiotics, namely: Trimethoprim (folic acid inhibitors) and Sulfamethoxazole (sulfonamides). Trimethoprim prevents the formation of tetrahydrofolic acid, and sulfamethoxazole stops the bacteria from making dihydrofolic acid. Tetrahydrofolic acid and dihydrofolic acid are essential for the formation of proteins and nucleic acids in the bacterial cell, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. By inhibiting these, Ivtrim Inj 5Ml kills the bacteria and stops their growth. Thereby, it helps to treat bacterial infections. Ivtrim Inj 5Ml is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which is active against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Do not take Ivtrim Inj 5Ml if you are allergic to any of its contents; if you have severe liver or kidney problems, thrombocytopenia (low levels of platelets in the blood), or porphyria (a rare blood problem).
