Azom injection use includes:

• Treating severe bacterial infections, especially those caused by Gram-negative bacteria

• Infections of the urinary tract, respiratory tract, abdomen, or skin

• Infections in hospitalized or immunocompromised patients.

Azom 1gm Injection targets bacterial cell walls, weakening them and causing the bacteria to break apart and die. Its action is specific to Gram-negative bacteria, making it useful for treating infections that do not respond to other antibiotics. This targeted approach helps control the spread of infection and reduces bacterial load.

Drugs like anticoagulants or other antibiotics may interact with this injection, leading to increased risk of side effects or reduced treatment effectiveness.
