Dialysis Notes
Dosing for inhaled colistin per primary team protocols
Other more effective, less-toxic agents are available for most serious Gram-negative rod infections. In cases where an IV polymyxin is necessary, polymyxin B should be used preferentially for non-urinary tract infections in adults.
Restricted to ID or Antimicrobial Stewardship
*Inhaled use of colistin is allowed for unrestricted use in prophylaxis in lung transplant.
