Frequently asked questions about Procaine Products
Frequently asked questions about Penicillin G
Q. What should I discuss with my doctor before receiving Procaine Injection?
Before taking Procaine Injection, you should tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to Procaine Injection or any similar medicine. Inform the doctor if you have any type of allergy, asthma or breathing problems, heart disease or kidney disease. Let your doctor know about all the medicines that you may be taking as they may affect or be affected by Procaine Injection. Pregnant or breastfeeding mothers should also seek their doctor’s advice before taking Procaine Injection.
Q. Why do Procaine Injection shots hurt so much?
Procaine Injection is injected deeply into the muscle, usually into the butt muscle, using a lot of fluid used to inject it. Moreover, it is injected slowly which makes it even more painful.
Q. How is Procaine Injection given?
Procaine Injection can be given as a drip (intravenous infusion) or as an injection directly into a vein or a muscle. It is generally administered by a doctor or a nurse, or under the supervision of a doctor or a nurse. You should not self-administer this medicine at home.
Q. The solution looks discolored. Can I still use Procaine Injection?
No. You should not use Procaine Injection if the medicine has changed colors or has particles in it. The discolored solution may be contaminated and may not be as effective as it is expected to be. Also, it may cause additional side effects. So, it is best if you discard the solution and go for another vial.
Q. I feel better now. Can I stop taking Procaine Injection?
No. Make sure to receive all doses your doctor has prescribed, even if you feel better. This is because your symptoms may have improved but chances are that the infection is still present in your body. Skipping doses can increase the risk of developing an infection that is resistant to medication. So, continue taking Procaine Injection as prescribed. After you have finished all the doses, your doctor may advise you on some tests to make sure your infection has completely cleared up.
Q. Does Procaine Injection treat the flu?
No. Procaine Injection does not treat a viral infection such as the flu or a common cold.
Q. Can Procaine Injection cause an allergic reaction?
Yes. Procaine Injection may cause an allergic reaction, although it is rare. Get emergency medical help if you have any of the signs of an allergic reaction, such as hives; difficulty breathing; swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat.
