Product Description

🔹 Product Overview
COL 3 MIU Injection is a prescription antibiotic injection containing Colistimethate Sodium 3 Million International Units (MIU). It belongs to the polymyxin class of antibiotics and is used for certain serious bacterial infections, particularly infections caused by susceptible multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria.
Because colistimethate sodium can affect kidney function and the nervous system, it should be administered only under appropriate medical supervision.

🔹 Key Uses
Treatment of certain serious bacterial infections
Infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria
Complicated urinary tract infections in appropriate clinical situations
Certain respiratory tract infections caused by susceptible organisms
Treatment of infections involving multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria when other suitable antibiotics may not be effective
The exact indication depends on the identified or suspected bacteria and the patient's clinical condition.
