About Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension

Colonext-AD-DS Dry 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.

Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension contains Colistin Sulphate. Colistin effectively solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension destroys the bacteria and successfully treats the infection.

Take Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Colonext-AD-DS Dry 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 Colonext-AD-DS Dry 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. Colonext-AD-DS Dry 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.

Special Advise

 

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • After taking the full course of Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension, probiotics should be taken to restore some of the healthy bacteria in the intestine that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut and kimchi can restore the intestine's good bacteria stink.
  • Include more fibre-enriched food in your diet, as it can be easily digested by gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus fibre foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after taking a course of antibiotics. Whole grains, like whole-grain bread and brown rice, should be included in your diet.
  • Avoid taking many calcium-enriched foods and drinks as it might affect the working of Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Colonext-AD-DS Dry Suspension in fighting off infections.
