Xylistin 2 MIU Injection

Xylistin forte 2MIU Injection contains the active ingredient Colistimethate sodium. It is an antibiotic that belongs to a group of medications called polymyxins. It is used to treat certain types of infections caused by bacteria. This medicine is commonly used when other antibiotics are not suitable.

This medicine is used when these infections are caused by specific bacteria called Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to get pregnant during the treatment.

Serious allergic reactions can happen even with the first dose of Xylistin forte 2MIU Injection in some patients. They can include rapid development of rashes, swelling of the face, tongue, and neck, and inability to breathe. You should seek urgent medical attention if you experience signs of an allergic reaction. Do not stop your treatment early without consulting a doctor. Your doctor will decide how long your treatment should last.
