Product Overview
Colistin sulphate powder, also known as Polymyxin E, is a broad-spectrum polypeptide antibiotic widely used in animal health. It is identified under various chemical names, including Colistin sulfate salt, Polymyxin E sulfate, and related variants.
Colistin sulphate is a water-soluble, crystalline compound valued for its potent antibacterial properties, particularly against Gram-negative bacteria. As a non-absorbable oral antibiotic, it acts in the gastrointestinal tract with minimal systemic absorption, ensuring low toxicity, rapid excretion, and a minimal risk of residual accumulation or the development of resistant bacterial strains.
