Colistican 2 Injection is a brand of Colistimethate Sodium for Injection, manufactured by American Remedies. It is a polymyxin-class antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. ________________________________________ 🩺 Uses of Colistican 2 Injection Colistican 2 Injection is primarily indicated for: • Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP): A lung infection acquired during mechanical ventilation. • Bacteremia (Bloodstream Infection): Infections caused by resistant bacteria entering the bloodstream. • Lower Respiratory Tract Infections: Including severe cases of pneumonia and bronchitis. • Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative organisms. These infections are typically caused by pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae, which are resistant to multiple antibiotics. ________________________________________ 💊 Mechanism of Action Colistimethate sodium is a prodrug that, upon administration, is converted to colistin. Colistin binds to the bacterial cell membrane, disrupting its structure and leading to cell death. It is particularly effective against aerobic Gram-negative bacteria with hydrophobic outer membranes. ________________________________________ ⚠️ Precautions and Side Effects Precautions: • Renal Function: Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment. • Neurological Effects: Monitor for signs of neurotoxicity, including dizziness and muscle weakness. • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Common Side Effects: • Injection site reactions • Renal toxicity • Neurological symptoms (e.g., confusion, dizziness) • Gastrointestinal disturbances (e.g., nausea, vomiting) • Muscle weakness
