Introduction
Cephalosporins refer to a class of cephalosporin antibiotics. Under normal circumstances, phloroglucinol can be used together with cephalosporins. Clinically, there are no compatibility contraindications between phloroglucinol and cephalosporins, so they can be used concomitantly. It should be noted, however, that phloroglucinol generally should not be used with metamizole tablets, morphine hydrochloride tablets, or their derivative drugs, as this may cause spasms.
Cephalosporins refer to a class of cephalosporin antibiotics. Under normal circumstances, phloroglucinol and cephalosporin antibiotics can be used together. Clinically, there are no known incompatibilities between phloroglucinol and cephalosporins, so they can be administered concurrently. The detailed analysis is as follows:
Phloroglucinol is commonly available as an injectable formulation and is used to treat acute pain caused by functional disorders of the gastrointestinal tract or biliary system. Cephalosporins, on the other hand, are effective against pathogens such as Escherichia coli, Salmonella typhi, and Proteus species, and are clinically used to treat infections including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, biliary tract infections, and skin and soft tissue infections caused by susceptible bacteria. In clinical practice, these two drugs generally have no compatibility issues and may be used simultaneously under medical supervision.
It should be noted that phloroglucinol should generally not be used in combination with metamizole tablets, morphine hydrochloride tablets, or their derivatives, as this may lead to spasms. Medication use should be guided by a physician; patients must not self-medicate to avoid adverse reactions.
