General Description

Polymyxin B, N-sulfomethyl deriv., sodium salt is a synthetic antibiotic compound used in the treatment of bacterial infections. It belongs to the polymyxin class of antibiotics and works by disrupting the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane, leading to cell death. This specific derivative of polymyxin B has been modified with a sulfomethyl group and is in the form of a sodium salt, which enhances its solubility and stability. Polymyxin B, N-sulfomethyl deriv., sodium salt is primarily used in topical treatments for skin and eye infections, as well as in ophthalmic solutions. However, it is important to note that polymyxin B can be toxic if too much is absorbed into the body, so it should be used with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.
