Product Introduction:
Ambistryn S 0.75 Injection is a medication containing Streptomycin, an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections.

Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening.
This medicine may cause a skin rash, vomiting, fever, and vertigo as side effects. Therefore, please follow all the instructions given by your doctor while using this medicine. Your doctor may monitor you with regular kidney function tests, hearing tests, and urine tests during treatment. Consult your doctor if your condition does not improve or if any of the side effects bother you.
Use caution while driving or doing anything that requires concentration as this medicine may cause dizziness. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to conceive, or breastfeeding.
