BTig 50mg Injection

BTig 50mg Injection is an injection made by Bosch Pharmaceuticals Ltd that contains Tigecycline 50mg, a glycylcycline antibiotic given by injection. It is used for complicated skin and soft tissue infections and complicated abdominal infections. Pack size: 1 vial injection.

Uses of BTig 50mg Injection

BTig 50mg Injection is a hospital antibiotic used for complicated infections of the skin and soft tissues and for serious infections inside the abdomen, such as those following a burst appendix or bowel surgery. Doctors usually keep it for situations where other antibiotics are unsuitable or the bacteria are resistant to them. It is given by a drip into a vein and does not work against viral infections.

How BTig 50mg Injection works

Tigecycline attaches to the ribosomes inside bacteria, the machinery they use to make proteins. Without these proteins the bacteria cannot grow or multiply, which gives the immune system the chance to clear the infection. It is related to the tetracycline family but is designed to work against many bacteria that have become resistant to older antibiotics.

Possible side effects

Nausea is the side effect patients notice most often with BTig 50mg Injection. Other common effects include:

• Nausea and vomiting
• Diarrhoea
• Stomach pain
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Changes in liver blood tests

Tell the nurse or doctor straight away about severe stomach pain spreading to the back, yellowing of the skin or eyes, a severe rash or swelling of the face, or severe or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• BTig 50mg Injection is given only in hospital by trained staff, who will monitor your blood tests during treatment.
• Tell the medical team if you are allergic to tetracycline antibiotics such as doxycycline or minocycline.
• Mention any liver disease, and let them know if you take warfarin, as blood clotting may need closer checks.
• It is not normally used in pregnancy or in children, as it can affect developing bones and cause permanent tooth discolouration.
• Breastfeeding mothers should discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor before treatment.

Storage
