Colistech-1 Miu (Vial) Colistimethate 1 Miu By Protech

What is it used for?
Colistimethate is a strong antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by certain bacteria, including difficult-to-treat Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas. It is used only when considered appropriate by a doctor.

How does it work?
It is converted in the body to colistin, which damages the outer membrane of susceptible bacteria and kills them.

How to take/use it
Use only exactly as prescribed. The dose and route depend on the infection and the product; it may be given by a healthcare professional or used by inhalation. Do not self-administer or change the treatment without medical advice.

Common side effects
Kidney problems, tingling or numbness, dizziness, weakness, and stomach upset may occur. Some effects can be serious and require medical attention.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about kidney disease, muscle or nerve disorders, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Kidney function may need monitoring, especially with longer treatment or other medicines that can affect the kidneys or nervous system. Seek urgent help for breathing difficulty, facial swelling, severe weakness, or reduced urination.
