About Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup

Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup belongs to the class of medications called ‘antibiotics’ used to treat bacterial infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria. 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.

Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup contains Colistin Sulphate. Colistin effectively solubilizes the bacterial cell membrane, resulting in bacterial cell death. As a result, Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup destroys the bacteria and successfully treats the infection.

Take Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup as prescribed by your doctor. Depending on your medical condition, you are advised to take Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup for as long as your doctor prescribes it.

Special Advise

 

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • After taking the full course of Colidaz 12.5mg Dry Syrup, 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.
