Description

Guficol 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.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

^

Q: What is Guficol Injection used for?

A: Guficol Injection is used to treat certain types of severe infections caused by bacteria.

Q: Is Guficol an antibiotic?

A: Yes, Guficol Injection is an antibiotic medicine.

Q: Why is this medicine usually given as an injection instead of a pill?

A: Colistimethate sodium is given by injection (intravenously or intramuscularly) because it is very poorly absorbed into the bloodstream when taken by mouth. The injection route ensures that a sufficient amount of the medicine reaches the site of the serious infection in your body, killing the bacteria.

Q: Can this medicine be used for all types of bacterial infections?

A: No, colistimethate sodium is a targeted antibiotic, and your doctor will only prescribe it for infections proven or strongly suspected to be caused by certain Gram-negative bacteria that are sensitive to this medicine, particularly strains that are resistant to other common medicines. It is not effective against viruses (like the flu or common cold) or other specific bacteria, such as those in the Proteus or Neisseria groups.
