Here is the some steps to help you to save money on Dartocin purchase.


Read drug prescription

It is very important to know about what medicine is given by the doctor, for what condition, and when it needs to be taken in what dose. This information given by the doctor is called Prescription. The patients should be familiar with the medicine prescription, and the details about the medicine before purchasing it and using it. Some medications need not be prescribed by healthcare practitioners and can be purchased and used without prescription by the patients; these are called over-the-counter medications. Read the drug prescription information of Dartocin before taking it.

What is Dartocin

Dartocin is an antibiotic that fights bacteria.
Dartocin is used to treat severe bacterial infections in people who cannot use penicillin antibiotics.
Dartocin is used only for a severe infection. This medicine will not treat a viral infection such as the common cold or flu.
Dartocin may also be used for purposes not listed in Dartocin guide.

How is Dartocin given?

Dartocin is injected into a muscle, or into a vein through an IV. You may be shown how to use an IV at home. Do not self-inject this medicine if you do not understand how to give the injection and properly dispose of used needles, IV tubing, and other items used to inject the medicine.

Use a disposable needle only once, then throw away in a puncture-proof container. Keep this container out of the reach of children and pets.

Call your doctor at the first sign of diarrhea during and shortly after your treatment with Dartocin.

Select the most affordable brand or generic drug

Generic drug is the basic drug with an active substance in it, and the name of the generic drug is same as active substance most of the times. Like Acetaminophen/Paracetemol is Generic name and it has different brand names like Tylenol, Acimol, Crocin, Calpol etc. All these Brand names contain the same Paracetemol, but the medications are manufactured by different companies, so the different brand names. Generic drug is always cheaper and affordable, and it can be replaced in place of brand name drug prescribed by the healthcare practitioner. The Generic medicine has same properties as branded medicine in terms of uses, indications, doses, side effects, so no need to worry on that. Just select the most affordable generic or branded medicine.
