Fomepizole injection 1.5gm/1.5mL Single-Dose Vials 1 gram Vial by Zydus (RX)

Fomepizole injection is a medication used to treat poisoning from ethylene glycol or methanol. It is supplied in a single-dose vial containing 1.5 grams of fomepizole in 1.5 mL of solution and is manufactured by Zydus Cadila. This medication works by blocking the breakdown of ethylene glycol and methanol in the body, preventing them from causing harm. It is usually given as an intravenous injection by a healthcare provider.

Fomepizole is an antifungal agent that works by inhibiting the production of a compound called ergosterol, which is essential for the growth and survival of fungi. By blocking this process, fomepizole prevents the fungi from reproducing and causes them to eventually die off.

When administered as an injection, fomepizole enters the bloodstream and travels to the site of the infection, where it targets the fungal cells and disrupts their growth and reproduction. As a result, the fungal infection is gradually cleared up by the body's immune system.

The 1.5gm/1.5mL single-dose vial contains 1.5 grams of fomepizole in 1.5 milliliters of solution, which is the appropriate dose for treating most fungal infections. This concentration is carefully formulated to ensure maximum effectiveness while minimizing any potential side effects.

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions as directed by a healthcare professional when using fomepizole to ensure its proper functioning and successful treatment.
