Colistimethate Rompharm 1,000,000 IU powder for solution for injection/infusion  

Colistimethate sodium is a cyclic polypeptide antibacterial agent belonging to the polymyxin group. Polymyxins work by damaging the cell membrane and the resulting physiological effects are lethal to the bacterium. Polymyxins are selective for aerobic Gram-negative bacteria that have a hydrophobic outer membrane.

Colistimethate Rompharm 1,000,000 IU powder for solution for injection/infusion is indicated in adults and children including neonates for the treatment of serious infections due to selected aerobic Gram-negative pathogens in patients with limited treatment options. 

Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents.
