Zinforo 600mg Injection

Zinforo 600mg Injection contains Ceftaroline 600mg, a fifth-generation cephalosporin antibiotic. Made by Pfizer Laboratories Ltd, it is prescribed for pneumonia and skin infections.

Uses of Zinforo 600mg Injection

Zinforo 600mg Injection is an antibiotic given by intravenous drip in hospital to treat serious bacterial infections, mainly community-acquired pneumonia and complicated skin and soft tissue infections. It is unusual among cephalosporins in being active against MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus), so it may be chosen when resistant bacteria are suspected.

How Zinforo 600mg Injection works

Ceftaroline binds to proteins that bacteria use to build their cell wall, including the altered protein that makes MRSA resistant to other beta-lactam antibiotics. Without a sound cell wall the bacteria burst and die.

Possible side effects

Side effects of Zinforo 600mg Injection are usually mild and may include:

• Diarrhoea
• Nausea
• Headache
• Skin rash or itching
• Pain or redness where the drip goes in

Tell the medical team immediately about difficulty breathing, swelling of the face or throat, a severe rash, or severe or bloody diarrhoea.

Precautions and warnings

• It is given in hospital or clinic by trained staff.
• Tell the team if you have ever had an allergic reaction to penicillin, cephalosporins or other antibiotics.
• Let them know if you have kidney disease or epilepsy, as the dose may need adjusting.
• The full prescribed course should be completed, even if you start to feel better.
• Tell the team if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
