About Xylistin 1 MIU Injection

Xylistin 1 MIU Injection contains colistimethate sodium, an antibiotic used to treat severe bacterial infections, particularly those caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.

Before beginning therapy, let your doctor know if you have liver or renal problems or an allergy to antibiotics. Women who are pregnant or nursing should speak with their doctor; frequent blood tests may be required to track medication levels and kidney function.
