Cetil 250mg Injection is an antibiotic which is useful in treating bacterial infections.

Can Cetil 250mg Injection cause diarrhea?
Yes, in rare cases, Cetil 250mg Injection can cause serious diarrhea during or after antibiotic use.

Usually, discontinuation of medicine can subside diarrhea. However, if diarrhea persists or if there is blood in the stool then immediately contact your physician.
Can Cetil 250mg Injection be given in patients with kidney failure?
Cetil 250mg Injection is a medication which is excreted through the kidneys.
