About Tecpime Injection

Tecpime Injection belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Tecpime Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
