Teconin 400mg Injection belongs to the group of medicines called antibiotic, which is used to treat various bacterial infections of the bones, joints, lungs, urinary tract, abdominal wall(peritonitis), and heart(endocarditis). Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Infectious or harmful bacteria can make you sick and reproduce quickly in your body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Teconin 400mg Injection does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu.
Teconin 400mg Injection contains teicoplanin works by interfering with the formation of bacterial cell walls, thereby impairing the bonds that hold the bacterial cell wall together. This allows holes to appear in the bacterial cell walls, which kills the bacteria. Thus, it helps in treating and preventing the spread of infections. Teconin 400mg Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Do not self-administer Teconin 400mg Injection. The dose of Teconin 400mg Injection can vary depending on your condition and the severity of the infection. It is also recommended to complete the course of medicine even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic. Leaving it in between may lead to even severe infection that will, in fact, stop responding to the antibiotic (antibiotic resistance). In some cases, you may experience common side effects such as diarrhoea, rashes, local pain and redness at the injection site, changes in blood and liver test results, and abnormalities (increases/decreases) in the number of white blood cells and platelets. Not everybody experiences these side effects. Talk to your doctor if you feel any discomfort while taking Teconin 400mg Injection.
