Product introduction

Admero 250mg Injection is an antibiotic that is used to treat severe infections of the skin, lungs, stomach, urinary tract, blood, and brain (eg. meningitis). It works by killing the bacteria that cause these problems. However, it will not treat a viral infection.

Admero 250mg Injection is commonly used to treat critically ill patients admitted to the hospital. This medicine is given by drip/infusion or by direct injection into a vein, under the supervision of a doctor or a nurse. The dose will depend on what type of infection you have, where it is in the body, and how serious it is. You should keep on taking the injection for as long as you have been prescribed, even if your symptoms quickly improve. If you stop taking it too early the infection may return or worsen.

Some people may develop side effects like headache, nausea, constipation, diarrhea, anemia, vomiting, and rash. These side effects are usually temporary and go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if these side effects bother you or do not go away.

Before starting treatment with this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you have epilepsy (seizures), liver or kidney problems or if you are allergic to any antibiotic. While using it, you may be advised blood tests to monitor your blood cell count and kidney function. This medicine is generally regarded as safe to use in pregnancy and breastfeeding if prescribed by the doctor.

FAQs

My friend has a history of epilepsy and she was on valproic acid while receiving treatment with Admero 250mg Injection, still, she had an episode of seizure. Why?

Any previous history with any other medication should be informed to the doctor before starting your treatment with Admero 250mg Injection. Medicines like Admero 250mg Injection can interfere with valproic acid which is used for the treatment of epilepsy, making it less effective. So, the reason for the recent episode of seizure could be the result of such drug interaction. Generally, in cases like these, the doctor prescribes a different medicine.

Even though Admero 250mg Injection is used for skin infections, can it cause any skin-related problems?

Serious skin reactions are rare, but some have been reported with the use of Admero 250mg Injection. Therefore, before starting the treatment inform your doctor if you are allergic to any medicine or antibiotic. Serious skin reactions are a type of allergic reaction. But, if not properly managed then they can endanger life. So, if you notice any rash along with fever or peeling of the skin, discontinue the medication and inform your doctor.

Is Admero 250mg Injection a strong antibiotic? Which infections does it treat?

Admero 250mg Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which means it can treat a variety of bacterial infections.

Along with that, it is also helpful in treating bacterial infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and infections that occur during or after delivery.

Is Admero 250mg Injection effective against bacteria only? Can it be used for any type of bacterial infection?

Yes, Admero 250mg Injection is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective against virus or fungal infections.

My cousin was receiving Admero 250mg Injection for severe skin infection, but the medicine was stopped when she had a fit. Was the fit due to Admero 250mg Injection?

There are reports which suggest the occurrence of seizures or fits with the use of Admero 250mg Injection. However, fits are more likely to occur in patients with a history of seizures or a brain lesion (wound, ulcer, abscess or tumor) or patients having bacterial meningitis or compromised kidney function. Consult your doctor to understand the exact reason.

For how long will I need to take Admero 250mg Injection?

The length of the treatment will be decided by your doctor. The doctor will decide the dose depending on your general health, the type of infection you have, and how well you respond to Admero 250mg Injection. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.

What if Admero 250mg Injection does not suit me?

It is common to have minor side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache with the use of Admero 250mg Injection. However, these symptoms generally settle down with continued medication as the body adapts to the medicine. If the side effects bother you, inform your doctor. The doctor will suggest an alternative medicine if required. Serious side effects with Admero 250mg Injection are very rare. In case you develop serious side effects, seek immediate medical advice.

Does it matter if I miss or stop Admero 250mg Injection?
