Colibug 1000 It Injection 1

Colibug Injection is used for the treatment of severe bacterial infections. It contains colistimethate sodium which belongs to the antibiotic class of medicine. It is used when other antibiotic medic

ines are unsuitable. It is typically reserved for treating severe infections caused by susceptible strains of certain Gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which may be resistant to more commonly used medicines. The medicine is often used in the hospital setting due to the nature of the infections it treats and the required monitoring. It is considered a prodrug, meaning it is an inactive compound that must be chemically converted within your body to its active form, colistin, to exert its therapeutic effect. It is important for you to complete the full course of treatment as prescribed, even if you begin to feel better quickly. Stopping the medicine prematurely can result in the infection not being fully eradicated, potentially leading to a relapse with bacteria that have developed resistance to this medicine. Because of potential effects on the nervous system and kidneys, your healthcare provider will counsel you on what symptoms to watch for, such as tingling, dizziness, or changes in urination, and when to seek immediate medical attention.
