Germenta Injection

Germenta Injection belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat serious bacterial infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. 

Germenta Injection is composed of Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It prevents bacteria from synthesising essential proteins required to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. 

Germenta Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Germenta Injection may cause a few side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Germenta Injection include stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, weight loss, light-headedness, headache, mood changes, joint pain, itching or rash, pain and swelling at the injection site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to medicines, liver/kidney problems, cystic fibrosis (a genetic disorder that affects the digestive and respiratory system), hearing problems, electrolyte imbalance, myasthenia gravis (muscular weakness), or Parkinson's disease before starting Germenta Injection. Germenta Injection should be used only with a doctor's advice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Germenta Injection may cause light-headedness; in such cases, please do not drive until you are alert. Germenta Injection may cause dizziness/vertigo; hence avoid or limit alcohol consumption. 

Germenta Injection is an antibiotic that treats severe/serious bacterial infections. It contains Gentamicin which works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thus inhibiting bacterial growth. It shows a bacteriostatic effect, which stops bacterial reproduction but doesn't kill them. Germenta Injection is useful in treating recurrent infections of kidneys, urinary ducts and bladder, lungs and airways infections during hospitalization, infections of the skin and soft tissues, including burns, and sepsis (blood poisoning by bacteria).

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Germenta Injection. Let your doctor know if you have any liver/kidney problems, cystic fibrosis, hearing problems, low blood minerals, myasthenia gravis, or Parkinson's disease. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding before starting this medicine. Germenta Injection may cause dizziness; hence drive or operate machinery only when you are alert. Avoid alcohol consumption to prevent any undesired effects like dizziness while undergoing treatment. 

• Liver and kidney function monitoring (Liver and kidney function tests) are recommended in patients with severe liver and kidney diseases.
• Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) is reported during the usage of antibiotics. Please consult your doctor if you experience prolonged diarrhoea.
