Polymyxin B 750000 IU Injection is a potent antibiotic used for the treatment of severe gram-negative bacterial infections. It is commonly prescribed in cases of multi-drug resistant (MDR) infections where other antibiotics are ineffective.
Polymyxin B works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to leakage of cell contents and rapid bacterial death. It is highly effective against resistant organisms such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter species.
This injection is widely used in critical care and hospital settings due to its strong activity against difficult-to-treat infections. It is often reserved for serious infections under close medical supervision.
Common side effects may include diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, injection site pain, and allergic reactions such as rash or itching. Some patients may experience changes in liver enzymes or blood parameters. Rarely, severe hypersensitivity reactions or bleeding disorders may occur.
Polymyxin B 750000 IU Injection is indicated for the treatment of a wide range of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, and septicemia. It is effective against resistant bacteria due to the presence of a beta-lactamase inhibitor.
This medication should be administered under strict medical supervision. Inform your doctor about any history of allergy to cephalosporins or penicillins. Dose adjustment may be required in patients with liver or kidney impairment. Complete the full course of therapy to avoid antibiotic resistance. Avoid alcohol consumption during treatment.
