Do Intramuscular Shots Help In Treating Pseudomonas?
Question: MY DOCTOR HAS RECOMMENDED MAGNEX FORTE 1.5 MG ( TWICE A DAY )TO TREAT pseudomonas aeruginosa 10^5 ISOLATED . AM TAKING IT INTRA MUSCULAR WITH A DEEP INJECTION INSTEAD OF INTRAVENOUS . IS IT OK.
Brief Answer:
You should take it Intravenous ideally
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
These injections should be taken intravenously in view of repeated long term doing as well as volume of the injection.
I would not recommend you to take it as intramuscular as it may pose you risk of intramuscular abscess, pain and swelling.
The best way out would be to get an Intravenous cannula inserted and take injections as per schedule and later you can get your cannula removed.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
