Novapime 0.25gm Injection 1 contains cefepime (250 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Inhibition of Cell Wall Synthesis: The active ingredient cefepime inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis by binding to and deactivating proteins called penicillin-binding proteins, which are essential for bacteria to build protective cell walls.

• Weakening Bacterial Cell Wall: Cefepime weakens the bacterial cell wall by disrupting the cell wall synthesis process. This leads to the bacterial cell rupturing and its death.

• Resistance to Degradation: Cefepime is able to resist degradation by certain bacterial enzymes known as beta-lactamases. This ensures it maintains its activity against many bacteria resistant to some other antibiotics.

• Store your Novapime 0.25gm Injection 1 vials in a cool, dry place, away from exposure to light.

• Keep it out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.

• Always check the expiry date before administration, and do not use it if expired.

• Stay well-hydrated, especially if you have a urinary tract infection. This helps in flushing out the bacteria.

• Maintain good hygiene practices to avoid further bacterial infections. This includes regular hand washing and cleaning wounds carefully.
