You should know the risks and warnings of Azomax to prevent its misuse.
There are some specific circumstances under which the use of certain medications is contraindicated or considered dangerous. So if you are taking any medicine its always a good practice to familiarize yourself with its risks and warnings.
The risks and warnings associated with Azomax are:
1. Pregnancy and breastfeeding
If you are pregnant, do not take azomax unless your doctor advises it. It can affect your baby's health. Breastfeeding mothers should also consult with a healthcare provider before taking it.
2. Allergic to Azomax
If you are allergic to azomax, do not take Azomax or any other medicine with the same generic name, as it can result in a life-threatening condition called anaphylactic shock. Always inform your healthcare provider about the documented allergies you have.
Anaphylactic shock is a rare but severe allergic reaction. If not treated at the right time, it can be life-threatening. The signs and symptoms of an anaphylaxis reaction are hives, pale skin, labored breathing, itching, excessive salivation, feeling too warm, a weak and rapid pulse, nausea, vomiting, runny nose, sneezing, swollen lips and tongue, wheezing, dizziness, low blood pressure, and tingling hands, feet, mouth, or scalp.
3. Non-susceptible organisms
Azomax should be given to the patient only when the bacteria are sensitive to it. If not, it can lead to antibiotic resistance, making it difficult to treat infections next time. It mostly applies to urinary tract infections and infections of the nose, ear, and throat.
4. Seizures
If you have had a history of seizures or you have renal impairment, you must avoid the use of azomax as it can provoke seizures.
5. Kidney failure
If your kidneys do not work well, the healthcare provider may lower the dose of the drug. It happens because your kidneys are meant to excrete out the waste and toxins. If that does not happen, the toxins may build up in your body, leading to severe adverse effects. Therefore, you must inform your health care provider about your complete health condition.
6. Gastric ulcers
People suffering from gastric ulcers and acidity must take azomax with extreme caution because it affects your gastrointestinal tract. Also, it can cause ulceration in your stomach lining when taken for the long term. Your doctor may prescribe a gastroprotective agent along with it.
7. Liver diseases
Patients with liver disease should take azomax with caution. It is because your liver helps in the metabolism and excretion of drugs. When it does not work efficiently due to any disease, it can cause accumulation of the drug in your body, leading to severe adverse effects.
8. Heart diseases and hypertension
If you have a history of heart disease, heart attack, or hypertension, you must take azomax with caution as it can worsen the preexisting condition.
9. Arrhythmias
If you have a history of arrhythmias (a condition in which the rhythm of the heart gets abnormal), take azomax with caution because it can cause QT interval prolongation of the heart-a life-threatening condition.
10. Anticoagulants or bleeding disorders
If you are taking anticoagulants for thinning of your blood, or you have any bleeding disorder, take azomax only on the advice of a healthcare provider.
