Fotaran 1gm Injection 1 contains Ceftazidime (1000 MG), acting on the body in the following ways:

• Inhibits Bacterial Cell Wall Synthesis: Ceftazidime works by blocking certain proteins in the bacterial cell wall known as penicillin-binding proteins (PBPs). These proteins are vital for maintaining the structure and strength of the bacterial cell wall.

• Disrupts Peptidoglycan Cross-linking: By inhibiting these PBPs, ceftazidime disrupts the cross-linking of peptidoglycan strands, a major component of the cell wall. This process weakens the cell wall.

• Causes Cell Lysis: With its cell wall compromised and weakened, the bacterial cell can't withstand its internal pressure, leading to cell lysis, which essentially causes it to burst open. This effectively kills off the bacteria.

• Store Fotaran 1gm Injection 1 in a cool, dry place, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it away from direct sunlight and protect it from moisture.

• Ensure the medicine is kept out of reach of children.

• If you are dealing with an infection that Fotaran 1gm Injection 1 manages, it's beneficial to stay well-hydrated. Consuming water helps flush bacteria out of your body and can aid recovery.

• Nutrition plays a critical role in health. Including protein-rich foods like lean meats, beans, and lentils in your diet can boost your immune system and help fight bacterial infections.
