COLY MONAS 3 INJECTION

How COLY MONAS 3 INJECTION Works

• Colistimethate sodium is an inactive "prodrug" that is converted in the body into its active form, colistin. Colistin acts like a detergent on the outer wall of Gram-negative bacteria: it binds to and disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, causing essential contents of the cell to leak out. This breakdown of the membrane kills the bacteria. This unique mechanism lets it work against many bacteria that have become resistant to other antibiotic classes.

Because it is used for serious infections and can affect the kidneys and nerves, patients are monitored closely during treatment. Common: kidney effects (reduced kidney function, usually reversible after stopping), tingling or numbness around the mouth and in the hands and feet, dizziness, and injection-site reactions. Nausea and vomiting can also occur. Nervous system: tingling, visual disturbances, slurred speech, and unsteadiness (ataxia), more likely at higher doses. Serious (require immediate medical attention): significant kidney injury, severe allergic reactions, and — rarely — breathing difficulty from muscle weakness (neuromuscular blockade), especially in people with kidney problems or those on certain muscle relaxants. Nebulised colistin can sometimes cause coughing or chest tightness.
