Introduction About WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION
WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION contains colistin, which belongs to the group of medicines called Antibiotics. It is used in infants and in children to manage bacterial infections of the gut (stomach and intestines).
Colistin is a polypeptide antibiotic. It binds to the susceptible bacteria and disrupts the composition (lipids and proteins) of the bacterial cell membrane. As a result, it makes the contents of the bacterial cell leak out, which subsequently leads to bacterial killing. It may also inactivate the toxins produced by the bacteria.
Before starting the therapy with WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION, inform your doctor if your child has any kidney problems. Your doctor would prescribe a low dose of colistin to your child and constantly monitor their kidney functions to avoid the risk of side effects. You must also inform your doctor if your child has any inherited blood or muscle disorders before starting the therapy with WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION.
Do not give WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION to your child if your child is allergic to any of its ingredients. The most common side effects of taking WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION are stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, or dizziness. Contact your doctor if any of these side effects worsen in your child.

How WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION Works
WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION kills the susceptible bacteria that causes infection. It acts by disrupting the composition (lipids and proteins) of the bacterial cell membrane and enters the bacterial cell. This causes the contents of the bacterial cell to leak out, which subsequently leads to bacterial killing. It may also inactivate the effects of toxins produced by the harmful bacteria.
How to use WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION
Use WALAMYCIN SUSPENSION as advised by your physician. Reconstitute the medicine with the sterile water given along with the package or with boiled, cooled water before administration. Close the bottle tightly and shake the mixture vigorously for at least 10-15 minutes until it forms a uniform mixture. Measure the medicine using the measuring cup given along with the package and administer it to your child.
Your doctor will decide the correct dose, quantity (ml), and duration of therapy for your child depending upon their age, body weight, and severity of infection.
