INDICATIONS:
Colistin 4800 wsp is indicated for the treatment of gastrointestinal infections in calves, lambs, kids, and poultry, caused by bacteria susceptible to colistin, particularly Colibacillosis and Salmonellosis.
Colistin is a polymyxin antibiotic with bactericidal activity against certain gram-negative bacteria, including Salmonella spp. and E. coli. Absorption of colistin sulphate after oral administration is minimal and it is therefore only active in the gastrointestinal tract. In addition to the direct antibacterial activity, colistin also exhibits potent anti-endotoxin activity.
CONTRA-INDICATIONS:
Do not administer to animals hypersensitive to polymycins. Do not use for the treatment of infections caused by resistant micro-organisms. Do not administer to animal species not listed under the indications, especially with well-established rumen and intestinal flora.
SIDE EFFECTS:
None.
