Side Effects:

Common side effects of Calamox I.V. Injection may include:

• Pain or irritation at the injection site
• Nausea or vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Rash or itching

Less common but more serious side effects may include:

• Severe allergic reactions (e.g., hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, or throat)
• Liver problems (e.g., yellowing of the skin or eyes, dark urine)
• Severe diarrhea (a potential sign of Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea)
• Changes in blood counts (e.g., anemia, thrombocytopenia, leukopenia)
• Seizures (rare, usually in patients with kidney problems or at high doses)

Precautions:

• Allergic Reactions: Before administering Calamox I.V., ensure the patient has no known allergies to penicillins, cephalosporins, or other beta-lactam antibiotics. Immediate medical attention is required if signs of an allergic reaction occur.
• Liver Function: Regular monitoring of liver function may be necessary, particularly in patients receiving prolonged treatment, as this medication can cause liver problems.
• Kidney Function: Dosage adjustments may be required in patients with kidney impairment, as the drug is excreted by the kidneys.
• Diarrhea: Antibiotic-associated diarrhea, including potentially life-threatening Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea, can occur with Calamox. If severe diarrhea develops, the treatment may need to be discontinued.
• Drug Interactions: Calamox I.V. may interact with other medications, such as anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin) or other antibiotics. Inform the healthcare provider of all medications being used.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Although generally considered safe, Calamox should be used during pregnancy and breastfeeding only if clearly needed and under medical supervision.
• Infusion-Related Reactions: The infusion should be administered slowly to reduce the risk of infusion-related reactions, such as thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein).
