Colonext Ad 12.5 MG Dry Suspension 15 ML contains Colistin (12.5 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Interaction with Bacterial Membrane: Colistin interacts with the outer membrane of gram-negative bacteria. It binds to the molecules on the surface of the bacterial cells, disrupting their structure.
• Increased Cell Permeability: As a result of this disruption, the permeability of the bacterial cell increases. This means that substances can pass through the cell wall more freely than normal.
• Leakage of Cell Contents: The increased permeability causes the contents of the bacterial cell to leak out, leading to cell death. This is how Colistin manages bacterial infections.
• Effective Against Multimedicine-Resistant Bacteria: Colistin is particularly effective against multimedicine-resistant gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. This makes it a vital tool in managing serious bacterial infections.

• Store Colonext Ad 12.5 MG Dry Suspension 15 ML at room temperature.
• Keep the medicine in a tightly closed container to protect it from light and moisture.

• If you are giving Colonext Ad 12.5 MG Dry Suspension 15 ML to your child to manage gastrointestinal infections, maintaining good hydration is essential. Ensure that your child drinks plenty of fluids to help keep your digestive system functioning well.
• To help your child's body fight off bacterial infections, include foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E in their diet. These nutrients boost the immune system. Examples include oranges, tomatoes, spinach, broccoli, and nuts. Always remember to consult your child's doctor for personalised advice based on their condition.
