About Kalomin 4.5MIU Injection 1's

Kalomin 4.5MIU Injection 1's belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections.

Symptoms of bacterial infection vary depending on the organ affected by bacteria.

Kalomin 4.5MIU Injection 1's contains Colistimethate Sodium. Colistimethate Sodium effectively solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Kalomin 4.5MIU Injection 1's destroys the bacteria and successfully treats the infection.

Kalomin 4.5MIU Injection 1's will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Sometimes, you may experience common side effects like injection site reactions, renal damage, visual disturbances, GI disturbances, dizziness, nausea, vomiting and muscle weakness. But these side effects are usually in the initial phase and resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist, let your doctor know.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria enter the body, multiply, and infect it. It may attack any region of the body and multiply swiftly. Fever, chills, and tiredness are common symptoms. Bacteria come in a variety of shapes, including spherical, rod, and spiral-shaped bacteria. Bacterial infections range in severity from simple ailments such as sore throats and ear infections to serious brain infections such as meningitis and encephalitis. A bacterial infection can infect anyone at any time. People with a weakened immune system or who are on immunosuppressive medications, on the other hand, are more vulnerable to bacterial infection.
