You are recommended to take CEFANTRALINJECTION 0.5GM for as long as it is advised by your doctor for effective results. If your symptoms continue or worsen, seek further advice from your doctor.
Inappropriate use of antibiotics means using them when they are not necessary, such as for viral infections (like colds or the flu), stopping the treatment early, or using the wrong antibiotic for a specific infection. This can lead to antibiotic resistance.
Antibiotic resistance occurs when bacteria change in a way that reduces the effectiveness of antibiotics. As a result, the drugs no longer kill the bacteria, making infections more difficult to treat. This resistance can develop from overusing or misusing antibiotics, like taking them unnecessarily or not finishing the prescribed course.
No, CEFANTRALINJECTION 0.5GM is not the same as penicillin. CEFANTRALINJECTION 0.5GM contains ceftriaxone, a cephalosporin antibiotic, while penicillin belongs to a different class of antibiotics. Both treat bacterial infections, but they work in different ways.
