Garnet 1gm Injection

Garnet 1gm Injection is an injection made by Shrooq that contains Cefoperazone 1g, a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic given by injection, often combined with sulbactam. It is used for chest infections, abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, blood infections, gynaecological infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. Pack size: 1 vial injection.

Uses of Garnet 1gm Injection

Garnet 1gm Injection is used for moderate to severe bacterial infections, often in hospital. These include chest infections, infections inside the abdomen, complicated urinary tract infections, septicaemia, pelvic and gynaecological infections, and skin and soft tissue infections. Many products combine it with sulbactam, which protects it from bacteria that would otherwise break it down.

How Garnet 1gm Injection works

Cefoperazone stops bacteria from building their cell wall. When combined with sulbactam, it can also work against bacteria that produce beta-lactamase enzymes. Garnet 1gm Injection is given as an injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor or nurse, usually in hospital or a clinic.

Possible side effects

Common side effects of Garnet 1gm Injection include:

• Diarrhoea or loose stools

Stop and get medical help straight away if you notice swelling of the face or throat, difficulty breathing, a severe skin rash, or severe or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• Avoid alcohol during treatment and for a few days afterwards, as it can cause flushing, headache and vomiting with this medicine.
• It can affect blood clotting, so tell your doctor if you take blood thinners or have a bleeding problem.
• Tell your doctor if you have ever had an allergic reaction to any antibiotic, especially penicillins or cephalosporins.
