About Zonkind 1Gm Inj
Zonkind 1Gm Inj belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotics used to treat various bacterial infections such as respiratory tract (lungs) infection, urine infection, blood infection, meningitis (inflammation of the brain and spinal cord), gonorrhoea (sexually transmitted disease), skin, abdominal, bone, and joint infections. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you ill. Zonkind 1Gm Inj does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Zonkind 1Gm Inj is an antibiotic that contains Cefoperazone (cephalosporin antibiotic). Zonkind 1Gm Inj works by preventing the formation of bacterial cell covering, which is necessary for their survival by binding to the penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs), thus preventing cross-linking of nascent peptidoglycan and killing the bacteria. Thereby, Zonkind 1Gm Inj helps to treat bacterial infections.
You may experience diarrhoea, allergic reactions, abnormal liver function tests, and anaemia (a low number of red blood cells). Most of these side effects of Zonkind 1Gm Inj do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if they persist, consult your doctor.
Before starting Zonkind 1Gm Inj, please inform your doctor if you have any allergy (against any antibiotic), kidney or liver problems. Do not take Zonkind 1Gm Inj on your own as self-medication may lead to antibiotic-resistance in which antibiotics fail to act against specific bacterial infections.

Avoid alcohol consumption while taking Zonkind 1Gm Inj to prevent unpleasant side effects.
