Description
COLIDOX-50 is a water-soluble antibiotic.Colistin Sulphate is poorly absorbed from gastro-intestinal tract (GIT). It is a polymyxin antibiotic effective for the treatment of Gram-negative infections, especially in the GIT. It is also used in combination with other drugs for the selective decontamination of GIT to prevent colonisation and infection.
Doxycycline has a lower affinity for binding with calcium than CTC/OTC. Hence absorption is least affected. It is more active than CTC/OTC against many bacterial species including enterococci and various anaerobes. Doxycycline is also more active against protozoa (like plasmodium spp.) and highly effective against Rickettsia, Chlamydia and Mycoplasma.
