Colistimethate sodium is an antibiotic from the polymyxin group; in the body it works as colistin. It kills certain bacteria. It comes as a powder that is mixed with liquid and given into a vein, usually by doctors and nurses in hospital. It is kept as a last-resort antibiotic for serious infections when other antibiotics will not work or are not suitable, and specialists decide when it is needed.
- Serious infections caused by certain bacteria, when other antibiotics are not suitable
- Infections caused by bacteria that resist many other antibiotics, including carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (WHO lists it for this)
- Rarely, it is given into the fluid around the brain or spine for serious infections there
- As an inhaled form (through a nebuliser), it is also used for long-term chest infections caused by Pseudomonas bacteria in people with cystic fibrosis
