Coly-Mycin M (active ingredient: colistimethate) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Serious Gram-Negative Infections: Coly-Mycin M is used for the treatment of severe infections caused by susceptible strains of Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella pneumoniae.
  2. Respiratory Infections: It is indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, particularly in patients with cystic fibrosis.

Coly-Mycin M belongs to a class of drugs known as polymyxin antibiotics, which work by disrupting bacterial cell membrane integrity, leading to bacterial cell death and resolution of the infection.

Colistimethate injection is available as a powder that needs to be mixed with a liquid and injected into a vein over 3 to 5 minutes, or into the muscles of the bottom or thigh. The usual dosage is every 6 to 12 hours. Alternatively, a continuous intravenous infusion over 22 to 23 hours may also be given, depending on the type of infection and the patient’s health.

The duration of the treatment varies from person to person and depends on their general health and how well they respond to the medication. If you are administering the medication at home, make sure you understand the instructions your healthcare provider explains to you. You can expect to feel better within the first few days of treatment but keep taking the medication until the prescribed dosage is complete. Even if you feel better, stopping early or missing doses can lead to incomplete treatment and antibiotic resistance in bacteria.
