FAQs
Q. Can Menotran 100mg Injection be given or injected into muscles?
No, Menotran 100mg Injection should not be administered by injection into the muscles. It should be given strictly through slow injection into the veins to prevent side effects.
Q. Is Menotran 100mg Injection dangerous?
Every medicine has its own side effects and these side effects are unlikely to happen if taken as directed. Usually, the benefits of the medicine are greater than the risk of side effects. Menotran 100mg Injection can rarely cause serious side-effects which can be dangerous, like anaphylaxis (red and lumpy skin rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of face, mouth, lips or eyelids), clot in another part of the body or eye problems. Do consult your doctor before you start this medication and follow the instructions strictly as given.
Q. Can Menotran 100mg Injection cause DVT?
Yes, Menotran 100mg Injection promotes blood clotting, thereby preventing blood loss. However, in rare cases, this can lead to a chance of developing a clot in the deep leg veins, a condition known as deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Although many research studies have shown that the increased risk of clot can be due to some other additional factors rather than Menotran 100mg Injection itself. This condition has been found to be more common in female patients taking Menotran 100mg Injection. Do consult your doctor before you start this medication and follow the instructions strictly as given.
