Detailed Information

Introduction

Xylistin 1MIU Injection is an antibiotic medication containing colistimethate sodium, belonging to a class of antibiotics called polymyxins. It is prescribed to treat serious bacterial infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, when other antibiotics are not effective or suitable. This medication is administered by healthcare professionals in hospital or clinical settings and is also used in inhalation form to manage chronic respiratory infections in cystic fibrosis patients.
