Medical Description

Xylis powder for injection contains colistimethate, an antibiotic used in hospital care for certain severe bacterial infections when other treatment options may not be suitable. Colistimethate is converted in the body to colistin, which damages the outer covering of susceptible bacteria so they cannot survive. This prescription medicine is prepared and given by injection by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Kidney function, nerve symptoms and breathing may need close monitoring during treatment.

  • Severe bacterial infections: Colistimethate may be used for serious infections caused by susceptible bacteria when other antibiotics are unsuitable.
  • Infections requiring hospital treatment: This antibiotic may be chosen for selected difficult-to-treat bacterial infections after a clinician reviews the infection and test results.

This injection will be given by a doctor or nurse in a hospital or clinic. Do not self-inject. The healthcare team will prepare the powder, select the route and monitor you during treatment.

Storage and disposal

Store Xylis as directed by the hospital or pharmacist, protected from moisture, sunlight and heat. Keep it away from children and pets. Do not use prepared medicine unless it has been handled and stored by the healthcare team.

Dosage

Overdose

This medicine is administered by healthcare professionals, who monitor the amount given. If you think you have taken too much of this medicine, contact your doctor immediately or visit the nearest hospital.

Missed a Dose

How does this medicine work?

The active ingredient colistimethate is changed in the body to colistin. Colistin attaches to the outer covering of susceptible bacteria and disrupts it, causing essential contents to leak and the bacteria to die.

Interactions

Interactions with other medicines

Some medicines can affect the way Xylis injection works. Tell your doctor about all the medicines, vitamins and supplements you take. In particular, other antibiotics and medicines that affect kidney function may increase harmful effects; muscle relaxants and medicines for myasthenia gravis may increase muscle weakness or breathing problems.
