Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML

Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML is used to treat serious bacterial infections involving the lungs, urinary tract, skin, bones, joints, abdomen, blood, and central nervous system. It is also effective in managing meningitis, gonorrhoea, heart valve infections, and in preventing post-surgical infections.

Here's how you should administer Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML:

• Ensure that the injection is administered by a qualified healthcare professional only.

• The injection can be given either intramuscularly (into a muscle) or intravenously (into a vein).

• Make sure that the injection site is clean and sterilised before administration.

• Once administered, observe for any immediate adverse reactions.

Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML is administered intravenously or via an intramuscular route.

Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML contains cefuroxime (1500 mg), which performs its function through the following mechanisms:

• Binds to Penicillin-Binding Proteins: Cefuroxime latches onto specific proteins called penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs) found within the bacterial cell wall.

• Disrupts Peptidoglycan Synthesis: By attaching to PBPs, cefuroxime interferes with the formation of peptidoglycan - a vital component of bacterial cell walls.

• Induces Cell Lysis: The disruption in peptidoglycan synthesis weakens the bacterial cell wall. This weakening ultimately leads to cell lysis - a process where the cell bursts open due to an imbalance in osmotic pressures - resulting in bacterial death.

• Store Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.

• Maintain an ideal storage temperature of below 25°C.

• Keep the injection well-sealed to prevent exposure to air and moisture.

• Ensure it is out of reach and sight of children.

• If you have a urinary tract infection, increase your water intake. This will help flush bacteria out of your system, complementing the action of the Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML.

• For those with respiratory tract infections, consider avoiding smoking and areas with heavy pollution. These can irritate your lungs and may aggravate your condition while you're managing it with Novacef 1500 MG Injection 20 ML.
