About SPIZEF 750MG INJECTION

SPIZEF 750MG INJECTION belongs to the class of cephalosporin antibiotics indicated to treat a wide range of bacterial infections including lower respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and skin structure infections, septicemia (blood infection), meningitis (infection of brain and spinal cord), gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted infections), bone and joint infections.

SPIZEF 750MG INJECTION is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that acts against a wide range of bacteria.

This prevents the formation of bacterial cell covering, thereby kills the bacteria and treats bacterial infection.

In some cases, SPIZEF 750MG INJECTION may cause side effects such as diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting, pain, and swelling at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and resolve over time. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, consult your doctor.
