To properly administer Germenta 80 MG Injection 2 ML, follow these directions:

• This medicine is usually given by a healthcare professional. It's administered either into a vein (intravenously) or a muscle (intramuscularly).

• Be aware that this medicine is for injection only. Do not attempt to swallow or apply it topically.

• Always consult your doctor for specific advice on how to use this medication.

Germenta 80 MG Injection 2 ML is administered either intravenously or via an intramuscular route.

Germenta 80 MG Injection 2 ML contains Gentamicin (80 mg) and functions in the body as follows:

• Inhibits Bacterial Protein Synthesis: Gentamicin acts by blocking protein creation in bacteria. It attaches itself firmly to bacterial ribosomes, interrupting the translation process, which builds proteins.

• Causes Bacterial Cell Death: The incorrect proteins resulting from this disrupted process impair the function of bacterial cells, leading to their death. This makes Gentamicin bactericidal. It actively kills bacteria rather than just stopping their growth.

• Keep your Germenta 80 MG Injection 2 ML in a cool place, ideally at room temperature.

• Protect it from direct sunlight and moisture.

• Ensure it's out of reach and sight of children.

• Always check the expiry date before use. Discard if past this date.

• If you're dealing with a urinary tract infection (UTI), increase your water intake. This helps flush out the bacteria causing the infection.

• For respiratory tract infections like pneumonia, avoid smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke. This can worsen your symptoms and slow down recovery.
