Polymyxin B is an FDA-approved drug used by healthcare professionals to treat patients with Urinary tract infections, Bloodstream infections, Meningeal infections, and Corneal and subconjunctival eye infections. Polymyxin B sulphate is the sulfate salt of Polymyxins B1 and B2, produced by the growth of Bacillus polymyxa (Prazmowski) Migula (Fam. Bacillacea). It has a potency of not less than 6000 polymyxin B units per mg, calculated on an anhydrous basis. Polymyxin B sulfate has a bactericidal action against almost all gram-negative bacilli except the Proteus group. Polymyxins increase the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane leading to the death of the cell. This medicine is supplied in single-use vials in 50000 IU to administer intravenously, intrathecally, or ophthalmically. All gram-positive bacteria, fungi, and gram-negative cocci are resistant to polymyxin B. 500,000 Polymyxin B units per vial are supplied in a rubber-stoppered glass vial with a flip-off cap.
Polymyxin B injection is readily available from multiple generic medicine suppliers. For further information about this drug, contact us on toll-free no. 18008891064.
