Imcil-AAA Infusion is used to treat severe bacterial infections of the lungs, heart, bladder, skin, kidneys, bones, joints, blood, stomach and female reproductive organs. Imcil-AAA Infusion may also be used in the management of patients with low white blood cell count who have a fever, which is suspected to be due to bacterial infection. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body. Imcil-AAA Infusion does not work against infections caused by the virus, including cold and flu. 
 
Imcil-AAA Infusion is a combination of two drugs, namely: Cilastatin (dehydropeptidase inhibitor) and Imipenem (antibacterial). 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, Imcil-AAA Infusion helps to treat bacterial infections.
 
Imcil-AAA Infusion will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. In some cases, Imcil-AAA Infusion may cause common side effects such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, swelling, and redness at the site of injection. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and will resolve gradually over time. However, you are advised to talk to your doctor if you experience these side effects persistently.
 
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Imcil-AAA Infusion may cause dizziness, so drive with caution. Avoid alcohol consumption as it might cause increased dizziness and sleepiness. Imcil-AAA Infusion should not be given to children below one year or those who weigh below 30kg with kidney problems. Imcil-AAA Infusion is not recommended in paediatric patients with CNS infections due to the risk of seizures. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any unpleasant side effects.

• Antibiotics can alter the useful bacteria in the stomach, which help in digestion. Therefore, you are advised to take foods rich in probiotics such as yoghurt/curd, kefir, buttermilk, natto and cheese.
• Eat fibre-rich food like whole grains, beans, lentils, berries, broccoli, peas and bananas.

Bacterial infections: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. Harmful bacteria produce chemicals known as toxins, which can damage tissue and cause sickness. Symptoms of bacterial infection include fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection. But, people with a weak immune system or taking immunosuppressive medicines are more prone to bacterial infection.
