About Kolibitor Injection 5 ml

Kolibitor Injection 5 ml belongs to the class of medicines called antibiotics. It is used to treat or prevent lung infections caused by bacteria called Pneumocystis jirovecii and Toxoplasma.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of Kolibitor Injection 5 ml to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yoghurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
  • Include fibre-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fibre-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as brown rice and whole-grain bread should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids daily while taking Kolibitor Injection 5 ml.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.
