Patient concerns
FAQs
My friend has a history of epilepsy and she was on valproic acid while receiving treatment with Pacemero 2G Injection, 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 Pacemero 2G Injection. Medicines like Pacemero 2G Injection 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 Pacemero 2G Injection 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 Pacemero 2G Injection. 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 reaction. 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.
Is Pacemero 2G Injection a strong antibiotic? Which infections does it treat?
Pacemero 2G Injection is a broad-spectrum antibiotic which means it can treat a variety of bacterial 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.
Is Pacemero 2G Injection effective against bacteria only? Can it be used for any type of bacterial infection?
Yes, Pacemero 2G Injection is effective only against bacteria. It is not effective against virus or fungal infections. Pacemero 2G Injection 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 cousin was receiving Pacemero 2G Injection for severe skin infection, but the medicine was stopped when she had a fit. Was the fit due to Pacemero 2G Injection?
There are reports which suggest the occurrence of seizures or fits with the use of Pacemero 2G Injection. 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.
For how long will I need to take Pacemero 2G Injection?

What if Pacemero 2G Injection does not suit me?
It is common to have minor side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache with the use of Pacemero 2G Injection.

The doctor will suggest an alternative medicine if required. Serious side effects with Pacemero 2G Injection are very rare. In case you develop serious side effects, seek immediate medical advice.
Does it matter if I miss or stop Pacemero 2G Injection?
