Product Introduction

Azom 500mg injection is an antibiotic with an active pharmaceutical ingredient called Aztreonam. This medicine was initially derived from Chromobacterium violaceum , which belongs to the medication class known as monobactams. It is used to treat serious infections caused by bacteria. Additionally, it contains L-arginine. Monobactams are an antibiotic with a special structure called a monocyclic beta-lactam nucleus. This differentiates them from other commonly known antibiotics like penicillins, cephalosporins, and cephamycins. Do not take Azom 500mg injection if you are allergic to Aztreonam and its other ingredients. Before starting the treatment, inform your doctor if you have a liver or kidney condition, a blood disorder (e.g., pancytopenia - reduced blood cells), a skin disorder, positive for antiglobulin test, fits (a sudden, violent, irregular movement of the body). Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant, or think you may be pregnant or breastfeeding. Notify your doctor if previous antibiotic use or stomach/intestinal issues have caused diarrhea, and you develop severe, prolonged, or bloody diarrhea while taking Azom 500mg injection. Inform your doctor immediately, as it may be necessary to discontinue the treatment. Notify your doctor if you are consuming antibiotics or anticoagulants (blood clots).
