Sulphomyxin sodium

The antibacterial activity of five members (A to E) of the polymyxin group is of a similar nature. However, they are all nephrotoxic although this effect is much reduced with polymyxins B and E (colistin). Colistin sulphomethate sodium is the form of colistin used for parenteral administration. Sulphomyxin sodium, a mixture of sulphomethylated polymyxin B and sodium bisulphite, has the action and uses of polymyxin B sulphate, but is less toxic. [Pg.111]
