Metgro Injection is used in the treatment of severe sepsis and inflammation of the pancreas (acute pancreatitis). It helps to reduce the chemicals involved in the inflammation of the pancreas.
Metgro Injection is generally administered by a doctor or nurse. The dose you are given will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. You should keep taking this medicine for as long as your doctor recommends. If you stop treatment too early, your symptoms may come back, and your condition may worsen. Let your doctor know about all other medications you are taking as some may affect, or be affected by this medicine.
The most common side effects are injection site reactions (pain, swelling, and redness) and increased liver enzymes. Most of these are temporary and usually resolve with time. Contact your doctor straight away if you are at all concerned about any of these side effects.
Metgro Injection should not be used for patients who are hypersensitive and in breastfeeding women. Before taking this medicine, you should tell your doctor if you are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Your doctor may advise for regular liver function while you are taking this medicine. This medicine can not be used for replacing the traditional therapeutic methods such as transfusion, oxygen therapy and antibiotics for shocks.
Your doctor or nurse will give you this medicine. Kindly do not self administer.
