Colistat Suspension is used to reduce stomach pain in children due to spasms, cramps, and bloating. Abdominal spasms are acute conditions in which the abdominal muscles (abs), intestines, and stomach contract severely. Stomach spasms can be caused by muscle strain, dehydration, stomach gas formation, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) like Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis, gastritis (stomach inflammation), constipation or other gastrointestinal infections.

Colistat Suspension is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine and  Simethicone. Dicyclomine is an antispasmodic agent that reduces spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles and blocking certain chemical messengers in the brain responsible for causing the sensation of pain. On the other hand, Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent that treats bloating and releases stomach gas more efficiently. Together Colistat Suspension helps reduce muscle contractions and pain by acting on the intestine's inner lining, allowing gas bubbles to come together, relieving cramps and spasms.

Give Colistat Suspension to your child as prescribed by the doctor. It can cause side effects like dry mouth, dizziness, weakness, nervousness, sleepiness, and nausea. These side effects resolve on their own. However, if the side effects persist or worsen, please consult your doctor.

Avoid using Colistat Suspension if your child is allergic to any of its contents. Colistat Suspension should be used only in prescribed doses. Complete the entire course of the treatment as prescribed by the doctor, even if your child feels better after a few doses intake. Before using Colistat Suspension, inform your doctor if your child ever had an allergy to Colistat Suspension, or has any other medical conditions like heart, liver or kidney problems. Also, let your paediatrician know if you are using any other medicines for your child.

• Colistat Suspension should be given before food.

Colistat Suspension is a combination drug containing Dicyclomine (antispasmodic) and  Simethicone (anti-foaming agent), primarily given to get relief from abdominal spasmodic pain, bloating, and general pain-related discomfort of the lower abdomen. Dicyclomine, being an antispasmodic, helps treat spasms and pain by relaxing the muscles. It also blocks certain chemical messengers in the brain, which cause pain sensation, hence relieving pain. Simethicone is an anti-foaming agent; it helps to treat bloating and releases gas more easily. Collectively, both help to reduce abdominal pain caused due to spasms, cramps and gas formation.

Avoid giving Colistat Suspension to your child if she/he is allergic to it. Keep your doctor informed about your child’s health condition, including their previous medications and medical history, to rule out any side effects/interactions. Before using Colistat Suspension, inform your doctor if your child ever had an allergy to Colistat Suspension, or has a history of liver/kidney problems, irregular heartbeat, glaucoma, myasthenia gravis (muscle disease), hypertension (high blood pressure), gastroesophageal reflux, hyperthyroidism. Administering Colistat Suspension to infants under 6 months may result in breathing issues, seizures, fainting, changes in heart rate, muscle weakness, coma, or even death. Use this medicine only on a doctor's prescription.
