Jectophen 1.0gm Injection

Jectophen 1.0gm Injection contains chloramphenicol sodium succinate, a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent. It is indicated for severe systemic bacterial infections, including typhoid, meningitis, and other infections. This injection is typically administered when prior antibiotic therapy has been ineffective, when oral chloramphenicol is not feasible, or when high blood concentrations of the medication are required.

Do not use this injection if you are allergic to chloramphenicol. Avoid use during pregnancy or while breastfeeding without medical consultation. Inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of kidney disease, liver disease, or are concurrently taking medications associated with bone marrow depression. Similarly, report any current cold, viral influenza, or throat infection. Disclose if you have recently received vaccination or have one scheduled.

Jectophen 1.0gm Injection carries risk of bone marrow suppression and bleeding disorders, including anaemia (reduction in red blood cells), leucopenia (decrease in white blood cells), and thrombocytopenia (decrease in platelets). These conditions may compromise immune function and in some cases progress to leukaemia. Inform your healthcare provider of any prior history of these disorders before commencing treatment. Provide your doctor with a complete medical history and list of current medications.

Jectophen 1.0gm injection works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by disrupting the transfer of activated amino acids from soluble RNA to ribosomes. This interference prevents bacterial growth and multiplication, resulting in a bacteriostatic effect.
