Supacef 1.5 g Injection is used to treat severe bacterial infections of the lungs, skin, urinary tract and abdomen.
It contains cefuroxime, a cephalosporin antibiotic that kills susceptible bacteria by disrupting formation of their protective cell wall. It is given under medical supervision, commonly in hospital settings, for serious infections that need urgent care.
Completing the full course as prescribed helps prevent antibiotic resistance and supports full recovery from the infection.
Before you receive it, make sure your doctor knows your full medical history and any medicines you take. Consult your doctor before treatment, and tell your doctor if you notice any side effects.
