FAQs

ZOMBISTIN INJECTION contains Colistimethate, an antibiotic that works by binding to bacterial cell membranes that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stops the leakage of cell contents. Thereby, damages bacterial cell membranes and kills bacteria.

  • Regular blood tests are recommended to monitor the levels of ZOMBISTIN INJECTION in blood and kidney functioning.
  • Inform your anaesthetist that you are taking ZOMBISTIN INJECTION as it may increase the effects of muscle relaxants used in general anaesthesia.
  • Take probiotics after completing the full course of ZOMBISTIN INJECTION to restore some healthy bacteria in the intestines that may have been killed. Taking probiotics after antibiotic treatment can reduce the risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhea. Certain fermented foods like cheese, yogurt, kombucha, sauerkraut, and kimchi can restore the good bacteria of the intestine.
  • Include fiber-rich foods, as they can be easily digested by your gut bacteria, which helps stimulate their growth. Thus, fiber-rich foods may help restore healthy gut bacteria after a course of antibiotics. Whole grains such as whole-grain bread and brown rice should be included in your diet.
  • Make sure you drink plenty of water or other fluids every day while you are taking ZOMBISTIN INJECTION.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption as it may increase adverse effects.
