FAQs
What if I cannot tolerate Ertamits 1000mg Injection?
It is common to have minor side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and headache but generally these settle down. If these symptoms trouble you, contact your doctor.

But, if you experience any serious complication, seek immediate medical advice.
What is drug resistance? Is it possible to develop resistance to Ertamits 1000mg Injection?
Drug resistance is a condition in which the bacteria gets modified in your body and stops reacting to the medicine. Because of this, the medicine stops working. Resistance to Ertamits 1000mg Injection is not very common at least for the bacteria against which it works.
