For most infections, you might start to feel better within a few days. It is very important to keep taking this medicine for as long as your provider told you to do so, even if you start to feel better.

Depending on your infection, your doctor might prescribe Vekacin Injection to you for longer than 5 days. You should take this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. You should always finish the full prescribed course of medication, even if you start feeling better. Skipping doses or not finishing can cause your infection to return and be harder to treat.

No, Vekacin Injection cannot be used for the treatment of viral infections like common colds or flu. It is an antibiotic and works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

People who are suffering from diarrhea from infection with Clostridium difficile bacteria, skeletal muscle disorder, slow heartbeat, liver problems, and with low magnesium and potassium level in blood should not use this medicine. Talk to your doctor if you are not sure.

Get medical help right away if you have signs of allergic reaction such as difficulty breathing, rash, hives, itching, and blisters.

Food items with soluble fiber can help relieve diarrhea as they help absorb excess fluid from the body. These food items include bananas (ripe), orange, boiled potatoes, white rice, curd, and oatmeal. Diarrhea can cause dehydration in the body, so drink 8-10 glasses of water to avoid dehydration. You can also have soups and juice frequently to hydrate yourself.

Drinking any amount of alcohol while fighting an infection may not be wise, as it can lead to dehydration, interrupt normal sleep, and may hinder the body’s natural ability to heal itself. Talk to your doctor if you have any doubts.

Vekacin Injection may reduce the effectiveness of hormonal birth control tablets although the risk is small. To be safe it is recommended that another method of birth control (e.g. condoms) be used for the time you are taking the antibiotics and then for another 7 days. Check with your doctor if you are unsure.

The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated and the age of the patient. Vekacin Injection is not necessarily given for 3 days. In most bacterial infections, a single dose of 500 mg is given for 3 days. Alternatively, it can be given as 500 mg once on day 1 and then 250 mg once from day 2 to day 5. In some cases of infection such as genital ulcer disease, it is given as a single 1 gram dose. Therefore, you must stick to the regimen advised by your doctor.

Generally, it is recommended that patients taking Vekacin Injection should avoid taking any antacid with this medicine as this can affect the overall effectiveness of Vekacin Injection. It is also recommended to avoid exposure to sunlight or tanning beds as Vekacin Injection increases the risk of sunburn.

Vekacin Injection is an effective antibiotic that is used for the treatment of many bacterial infections. Compared to other antibiotics, Vekacin Injection has a longer half-life which means that it stays in the body for a long time because of which it is given once a day and for a short span of time. Other antibiotics comparatively have a shorter half-life and are usually given twice, thrice, or four times a day.

Some people may get a fungal or yeast infection known as thrush after taking Vekacin Injection. Antibiotics such as Vekacin Injection can kill the normal or ‘good bacteria’ of your intestine responsible for preventing thrush. You should inform your doctor if you get a sore or vaginal itching or discharge. Also, inform your doctor if you get a white patch in the mouth or tongue after taking Vekacin Injection or soon after stopping it.
