Uses of Romicef 500mg Injection

Romicef 500mg Injection is an injectable antibiotic used in hospital for severe bacterial infections. These include chest infections such as pneumonia, complicated urinary tract and kidney infections, blood infections (septicaemia), and skin and soft tissue infections. It is also used for suspected infection in patients with fever and very low white blood cell counts, for example during cancer treatment.

How Romicef 500mg Injection works

Cefpirome is a fourth-generation cephalosporin. It stops bacteria from building and repairing their cell wall, so they break apart and die. It covers a broad range of bacteria, including many that resist older cephalosporins.
