Expert advice for C Zid Injection
Your doctor has prescribed C zid to cure your infection and improve symptoms. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Discontinue C zid and inform your doctor immediately if you get a rash, itchy skin, swelling of face and mouth, or have difficulty in breathing. Diarrhea may occur as a side effect but should stop when your course is complete. Inform your doctor if it doesn't stop or if you find blood in your stools. If you're on blood thinners, C zid can interact with your medications and increase your bleeding tendencies.
