COLIMEX

COLIMEX
COLIMEX® (Colistin oral) Colistin is produced from a strain of the species Bacillus polymyxa. It acts specifically on gram-negative bacteria and has a rapid bactericidal effect on both resting cells and growing cells. The risk of resistance developing during treatment is minimal. Escherichia coli, Shigella, Salmonella, Pseudomonas, Aerobacter, Klebsiella, and H. influenzae are amongst the strains most sensitive to colistin. 
Most strains of Proteus, Neisseria, and Serratia are resistant. 
Colimex oral preparations (Colistin sulphate) 
As colistin is not absorbed in the intestinal tract, the syrup is 
reserved for treatment of gastrointestinal infections. 
Indic ions Infections caused by susceptible gram-negative bacteria. 
Gastroenteritis and enterocolitis (also in the new born, including 
premature babies and infants) caused by gram- negative strains. 
Bacillary dysentery. 
Side-effects Almost does not occur in the usual oral doses. 
Dosage The usual dosage over 24 hours is 0.15 million units/kg body 
weight, divided into 3-4 doses. Each 5 ml of syrup corresponds to 
0.25 million units (250.000 units) colistin sulphate.

Epimag

Epimag For The Medical Profession Only EPIMAG® Effervescent Powder Composition: Each 5 gm sachet contains: Magnesium citrate 2.125 g Properties: Magnesium ions inhibit formation of calcium oxalate crystals by combination with exogenous dietatric oxalate thus preventing formation of renal crystalluria. The citrate ions render urine alkaline so that urates may dissolve and are easily eliminated. Also, citrate ions, by chelating calcium ions, inhibit formation of calcium oxalate. Therefore, magnesium citrate may be prescribed to prevent recurrence of calcium oxalate kidney stones. Magnesium citrate is an osmotic laxative. Pharmacokinetics: Oral magnesium salts, including citrate, are generally very slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. They are excreted rapidly in the urine (absorbed fraction) and the faeces (unabsorbed fraction). Indications: • Cases of oxaluria. • Mild laxative to relieve constipation. Dosage and Administration: The contents of o...
