FAQ's on Merosure 125mg Injection

Is Merosure a strong antibiotic? Which infections does it treat?

Merosure is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which means it can treat a variety of bacterial infections. It is used to treat infection affecting the lungs (pneumonia) and complicated infections of the urinary tract, abdomen, and skin and soft tissue infections. Along with that, it is also helpful in treating bacterial infection of the membranes that surround the brain and spinal cord (meningitis) and infections that occur during or after delivery.

My cousin was receiving Merosure for severe skin infection, but the medicine was stopped when she had a fit. Was the fit due to Merosure?

There are reports which suggest the occurrence of seizures or fits with the use of Merosure. However, fits are more likely to occur in patients with a history of seizures or a brain lesion (wound, ulcer, abscess or tumor) or patients having bacterial meningitis or compromised kidney function. Consult your doctor to understand the exact reason.

What if Merosure does not suit me?

It is common to have minor side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and headache with the use of Merosure. However, these symptoms generally settle down with continued medication as the body adapts the medicine. If the side effects bother you, inform your doctor. The doctor will suggest an alternative medicine if required. Serious side effects with Merosure are very rare. In case you develop serious side effects, seek immediate medical advice.

For how long will I need to take Merosure?

The length of the treatment will be decided by your doctor. The doctor will decide the dose depending on your general health, the type of infection you have and how well you respond to Merosure. Consult your doctor if you are not sure.

Is Merosure effective against bacteria only? Can it be used for any type of bacterial infection?

Yes, Merosure is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective against virus or fungal infections. Merosure is effective against some bacteria which include Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, S. pyogenes, S. viridans group, etc. Therefore, its use against any other type of bacteria should be avoided.

My friend has a history of epilepsy and she was on valproic acid while receiving treatment with Merosure, still she had an episode of seizure. Why?

Any previous history with any other medication should be informed to the doctor before starting your treatment with Merosure. Medicines like Merosure can interfere with valproic acid which is used for the treatment of epilepsy, making it less effective. So, the reason for the recent episode of seizure could be the result of such drug interaction. Generally, in cases like these, the doctor prescribes a different medicine.

Even though Merosure is used for skin infections, can it cause any skin-related problems?

Serious skin reactions are rare, but some have been reported with the use of Merosure. Therefore, before starting the treatment inform your doctor if you are allergic to any medicine or antibiotic. Serious skin reactions are a type of allergic reactions. But, if not properly managed then they can endanger life. So, if you notice any rash along with fever or peeling of the skin, discontinue the medication and inform your doctor.

Does it matter if I miss or stop Merosure?

It is important that you do not stop the treatment without consulting your doctor. Stopping the treatment may bring back the infection or you may develop resistance to Merosure. Similar results may be seen if you skip any dose or are forgetful in taking the suggested doses. Therefore, it is recommended that you do not miss doses. If you do, take the missed dose as soon as you can and take the next dose as planned so that you stick to the same overall daily dose.
