About Xylistin 1MIU Injection

Xylistin 1MIU Injection belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections. 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.

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

Xylistin 1MIU Injection 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.

Before receiving Xylistin 1MIU Injection, 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. Xylistin 1MIU Injection 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.

Directions for Use

Xylistin 1MIU Injection will be administered by a qualified healthcare professional. Do not self-administer.

Medicinal Benefits

Xylistin 1MIU Injection contains Colistimethate Sodium. Colistimethate Sodium, also known as polymyxin E, is an antibiotic medication used as a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant Gram-negative infections. Colistimethate Sodium essentially solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Xylistin 1MIU Injection kills the bacteria and effectively treats the infection. In addition, it can also treat infectious diarrhoea and urinary tract infections.

Storage

Store in a cool and dry place away from sunlight

Drug Warnings

If you are allergic to Xylistin 1MIU Injection, please inform your physician. Inform your doctor about your medical history and other medications you are currently taking to rule out any potential negative effects. Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breastfeeding before receiving Xylistin 1MIU Injection. Also, inform your doctor if you have chronic kidney disease, myasthenia gravis (muscle disorder), and porphyria (a blood disorder). Do not abruptly discontinue taking the prescription since this may result in antibiotic resistance, a condition in which bacteria develop resistance to antibiotics.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • After taking the full course of Xylistin 1MIU Injection, 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 Xylistin 1MIU Injection.
  • Avoid intake of alcoholic beverages with Xylistin 1MIU Injection as it can make you dehydrated and affect your sleep. This can make it harder for your body to aid the Xylistin 1MIU Injection in fighting off infections.

Xylistin 1MIU Injection contains Colistimethate Sodium. It is an antibiotic medication used when other drugs or therapy are ineffective. Colistimethate Sodium essentially solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Xylistin 1MIU Injection kills the bacteria and effectively treats the infection. In addition, it can also treat infectious diarrhoea and urinary tract infections.

Do not use anti diarrhoeal until the doctor has prescribed you. You can drink plenty of fluids (electrolytes) to avoid dehydration. Besides this, you can also take prebiotics or probiotics to manage diarrhoea as it may help increase the number of good bacteria in the intestine, which aids indigestion.

After taking an antibiotic, you may need to wait up to three hours to eat or drink dairy products, including milk and butter, yoghurt, and cheese. Grapefruit juice and dietary supplements containing minerals like calcium may also work to dampen the effect of antibiotics.

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.
