Colistican Injection – Colistimethate Sodium Available Strengths: Colistican Injection 1 MIU | 2 MIU | 3 MIU | 4.5 MIU Colistican Injection contains Colistimethate Sodium, an antibacterial medicine related to colistin. It is generally reserved for the treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria, particularly when more commonly used antibiotics are unsuitable or ineffective. Colistimethate sodium is converted in the body to active colistin, which interacts with the bacterial cell membrane and leads to disruption of susceptible bacterial cells. Dosage The dosage of Colistican Injection must be determined by a healthcare professional. Dosing depends on factors such as: Type and severity of infection Patient's body weight and age Kidney function Susceptibility of the infecting organism Selected strength and dosing unit Clinical response to treatment Important: Colistimethate sodium products can express strength using different conventions, including MIU (million international units) and colistin-base activity. These units should not be interchanged without appropriate conversion. Dose adjustment is particularly important in patients with impaired renal function. Precautions Kidney function should be assessed before and during treatment. Inform the physician about existing kidney or neurological disorders. Tell the healthcare professional about other medicines, particularly those that may affect kidney function or neuromuscular activity. Use cautiously in patients with conditions associated with neuromuscular weakness. Pregnancy and breastfeeding require medical assessment. Appropriate microbiological testing should be used whenever possible to guide antibiotic treatment. Side Effects Possible adverse effects include: Kidney function impairment Dizziness Tingling or numbness Muscle weakness Confusion Injection-site reactions Allergic reactions Nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity are important potential adverse effects and require appropriate clinical monitoring. Warning Colistican Injection is a potent prescription antibiotic and should be administered only under qualified medical supervision. Renal function should be monitored because colistimethate sodium can cause kidney toxicity. Neurological adverse effects may also occur. FAQ 1. What does Colistican Injection contain?
