Colistimethate sodium is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa or Acinetobacter baumannii. It is often used as a last-line treatment for infections resistant to other antibiotics.
The medication is administered intravenously or via inhalation, depending on the type and location of the infection. It is important to use it as directed by your doctor to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.
Side effects may include kidney function impairment, neurotoxicity (dizziness, tingling), or allergic reactions. In rare cases, severe complications may occur, requiring immediate medical attention.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as kidney diseases, to ensure the safe use of colistimethate sodium.
