What is Colistin Sulfate?
Active Ingredients: Colistin Sulfate
Colistin Sulfate Premix is an antibiotic drug used to treat certain infections in poultry and livestock animals like cows, sheep, and pigs. This feed/water additive is indicated for the treatment of intestinal infections and diseases like scour, piglet paratyphoid, colibacillosis, and pullorum disease.
Colistin is not well-absorbed orally, so it is typically used to treat infections in the gastrointestinal system.
Colistin is classified as a polymyxin. It works by interfering with and breaking down the cell membrane of the bacteria. Colistin shows activity against many gram-negative microorganisms, including E. coli and Salmonella.
Colistin is also known by the name polymyxin E.
