Colistin is an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa. It is often used as a last-line treatment for infections resistant to other antibiotics.
The medication can be administered intravenously or via inhalation, depending on the type and severity of the infection. It is essential to use it as directed by your doctor to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.
Side effects may include renal toxicity, neurotoxicity (dizziness, muscle weakness), 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 colistin.
