Xylistin 2MIU Injection, containing Colistimethate sodium, works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to leakage of cell contents and ultimately causing the bacteria to die. This action makes it highly effective against certain gram-negative bacterial infections, particularly Pseudomonas aeruginosa, which are often resistant to many other antibiotics.

This medicine is administered intravenously by a healthcare professional, and the dosage will depend on the severity of the infection, your age, weight, kidney function, and overall health condition. It may also be given by inhalation in specific cases like chronic respiratory infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, helping deliver the medication directly to the lungs for localized treatment.

Monitoring during treatment may include regular kidney function tests, as this drug can be nephrotoxic, particularly when used for a prolonged period or in higher doses. Your doctor will also monitor for signs of neurotoxicity, such as tingling, dizziness, muscle weakness, or visual disturbances. It is important to avoid using other nephrotoxic or neurotoxic drugs concurrently unless prescribed by your doctor.

Continue using Xylistin for the full duration prescribed, even if symptoms improve early, to ensure complete eradication of the infection and to reduce the risk of developing drug resistance.

To treat certain bacterial infections

Xylistin 2MIU Injection, a polypeptide antibiotic, exerts its antibacterial action by penetrating and disrupting the cell membrane of susceptible aerobic gram-negative bacteria. This disruption causes essential cellular components to leak out, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. By targeting the integrity of the bacterial membrane, Xylistin effectively eliminates the pathogens responsible for serious infections, especially when other antibiotics have failed or are unsuitable.

It is essential to inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medicines, nutritional or vitamin supplements, and herbal remedies, before starting treatment with Xylistin 2MIU Injection. This is because certain medications can interact with Xylistin, potentially altering its effectiveness or increasing the risk of adverse effects.

For instance, combining Xylistin with other nephrotoxic or neurotoxic drugs—such as aminoglycosides, vancomycin, or muscle relaxants—may heighten the risk of kidney damage or nerve toxicity. Drug interactions may also lead to increased side effects or reduce the therapeutic benefits of either medication. Therefore, provide your doctor with a complete list of your current medications to ensure safe and effective treatment planning.

Xylistin 2MIU Injection will be administered to you by a trained healthcare professional, such as a doctor or nurse, in a hospital or clinical setting. The injection is given either as a rapid (bolus) or slow infusion directly into a vein, depending on your medical condition and the healthcare provider’s recommendation.

You should never attempt to administer this medication on your own, as it requires precise dosing and technique to avoid complications. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and duration of the treatment after carefully evaluating factors such as the severity of your infection, your body weight, kidney function, and overall health status. Adhering to the prescribed treatment schedule is crucial to ensure the infection is effectively managed and to minimize the risk of resistance or relapse.
