Targocid Injection contains teicoplanin (400 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

• Teicoplanin works by inhibiting the synthesis of bacterial cell walls.

• By preventing the formation of cell walls, the medicine weakens the bacterial structure by forming holes in them. The bacterial cells are unable to maintain their structure and eventually die.

• Store Targocid Injection vials below 25°C.

• Shield the product from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medicine out of the reach of children.

• Use before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• Drinking plenty of fluids is advisable for managing respiratory, urinary, and other infections. This helps flush out bacteria from your system.
