Ivistin 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.

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

Ivistin 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 Ivistin 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. Ivistin 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.

Ivistin 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, Ivistin 1miu Injection kills the bacteria and effectively treats the infection. In addition, it can also treat infectious diarrhoea and urinary tract infections.

If you are allergic to Ivistin 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 Ivistin 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.

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