ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION

Question 1

How does ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION work?

Accepted Answer

ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cilastatin and Imipenem. Cilastatin inhibits the dehydropeptidase enzyme, which causes the breakdown of Imipenem, thereby helps imipenem to stay active for a longer duration. Imipenem prevents the formation of the bacterial protective covering, which is necessary for the survival of the bacteria. Together, ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION helps to treat bacterial infections.

Question 2

Does ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION cause diarrhoea?

Accepted Answer

Diarrhoea might be a side-effect of ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION. Drink lots of fluids and eat non-spicy food if you experience diarrhoea. If you find blood in stools (tarry stools) or if you experience prolonged diarrhoea with abdominal pain, consult your doctor. Do not take anti-diarrheal medicine on your own.

Question 3

Can I take Probenecid with ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION?

Accepted Answer

Concomitant administration of Probenecid (used to treat gout and hyperuricemia) along with ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION is not recommended as it might result in an increase of plasma levels and half-life of Imipenem.

Question 4

Is it safe to take Ganciclovir along with ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION?

Accepted Answer

Ganciclovir (anti-viral) should not be co-administered along with ZILAMAC 500MG INJECTION unless benefits outweigh the risks as generalised seizures have been reported when taken together.
