Colizin Oral Suspension

Colizin Oral Suspension belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria. Bacterial infections are caused by the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. These harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and make you sick. Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Colizin Oral Suspension contains Colistin Sulphate. Colistin effectively solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Colizin Oral Suspension destroys the bacteria and successfully treats the infection.

Take Colizin Oral Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Colizin Oral Suspension for as long as your doctor prescribes it. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects like dizziness, upset stomach, rash, diarrhoea, vertigo (spinning sensation), paresthesia (tingling or pricking sensation) and slurred speech. But these side effects are usually in the initial phase and resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist, let your doctor know.

Before receiving Colizin Oral Suspension, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. And also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Colizin Oral Suspension can cause blurred vision and dizziness in some people; if this occurs, do not drive or operate tools or machinery. It is recommended not to consume any alcoholic beverages while on treatment with this medicine.

Colizin Oral Suspension is used in the treatment of severe bacterial infections. The detailed uses of Colizin Oral Suspension are as follows:

• Treats Multidrug-Resistant Gram-Negative Bacterial Infections: Colizin Oral Suspension is effective against severe infections caused by gram-negative bacteria (GNB) that are resistant to regular antibiotics, such as Klebsiella, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, and Enterobacteriaceae species.
• Manages Intestinal Infections: Colizin Oral Suspension may be used to treat intestinal infections caused by susceptible bacteria, especially in cases of diarrhoea or dysentery due to GNB like Escherichia coli or Shigella.
• Used as Part of the Selective Digestive Tract Decontamination: Colizin Oral Suspension is used to reduce the risk of secondary bacterial infections in critically ill patients by suppressing the growth of harmful bacteria in the gut.

• Colizin Oral Suspension can be taken with or without food as advised by your doctor.
• Follow your doctor's instructions regarding the dosage and duration of the medication.
• Check the label for instructions. Mix Colizin Oral Suspension with the recommended amount of water, stir well, and administer the prescribed dose.
• Shake well before use.

Colizin Oral Suspension contains Colistin Sulphate, which is used for treating acute or chronic infections due to sensitive strains of certain gram-negative bacilli, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Colistin sulphate effectively solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Colizin Oral Suspension destroys the bacteria and successfully treats the infection.

Before taking the Colizin Oral Suspension, let your doctor know about all your medical conditions, sensitivities, and all medications you are using. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before receiving Colizin Oral Suspension. Also, inform your doctor if you have chronic kidney disease, myasthenia gravis (muscle disorder), and porphyria (a blood disorder). Do not abruptly discontinue taking the prescription since this may result in antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics.
