Product Introduction

Cromobact 1gm Injection contains Aztreonam as its active ingredient, along with L-arginine. Aztreonam is a monobactam antibiotic originally derived from Chromobacterium violaceum. It belongs to the monobactam class of antibiotics, which are characterized by a unique monocyclic beta-lactam ring that distinguishes them from other beta-lactam antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, and cephamycins. Cromobact 1gm Injection is prescribed for the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible organisms.

Do not use Cromobact 1gm Injection if you are allergic to Aztreonam or any of the other ingredients in this medicine. Before beginning treatment, inform your doctor if you have liver or kidney disease, blood disorders such as pancytopenia (a reduction in all types of blood cells), skin conditions, a positive antiglobulin (Coombs) test, or a history of seizures or fits. Also tell your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, think you may be pregnant, or are breastfeeding.

Inform your healthcare provider if you have previously experienced diarrhea related to antibiotic use or have a history of stomach or intestinal disorders. If you develop severe, persistent, or bloody diarrhea while receiving Cromobact 1gm Injection, seek medical attention immediately, as treatment may need to be discontinued. Additionally, let your doctor know if you are taking other antibiotics or anticoagulant (blood-thinning) medicines. Contact your doctor promptly if you experience symptoms of encephalopathy, a condition that affects brain function and may cause confusion, drowsiness, altered consciousness, or other neurological symptoms.
