About Tough Injection
Tough Injection belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. 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.
Tough Injection contains Colistimethate Sodium. Colistimethate Sodium effectively solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Tough Injection destroys the bacteria and successfully treats the infection.
Tough Injection will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects like injection site reactions, renal damage, visual disturbances, GI disturbances, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and muscle weakness. 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 Tough Injection, 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. Tough Injection 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.

Directions for Use
Medicinal Benefits
Tough Injection contains Colistimethate Sodium. Colistimethate Sodium, also known as polymyxin E, is an antibiotic medication used as a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections. Colistimethate Sodium essentially solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Tough Injection kills the bacteria and effectively treats the infection. In addition, it can also treat infectious diarrhoea and urinary tract infections.

Drug Warnings
If you are allergic to Tough Injection, please inform your physician. Inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking to rule out any potential negative effects. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before receiving Tough Injection. 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.

Do not use anti diarrhoeal until the doctor has prescribed you. You can drink plenty of fluids (electrolytes) to avoid dehydration.
