COLMORE COLISTIN ORAL POWDER

What is Colmore Colistin Oral Powder?

Colmore Oral Powder is a fast-acting colistin sulphate antibiotic designed to treat gastrointestinal bacterial infections in livestock and poultry. It dissolves easily in water, making it simple to administer through any drinking system.

How Colmore Colistin Oral Powder Works

Colmore Oral Powder works by damaging bacterial cell membranes, blocking their growth, and causing cell death. Because it stays in the gut (less than 1% is absorbed into the bloodstream), it targets harmful bacteria directly at the source without stressing the animal.

What Colmore Oral Powder Treats

It is highly effective against major Gram-negative bacteria, including:

• Escherichia coli

• Salmonella spp.

• Shigella spp.

• Pasteurella spp.

• Haemophilus spp.

• Vibrio spp.

• Aerobacter aerogenes

• Pseudomonas aeruginosa (some strains may resist)

By controlling these infections, Colmore Oral Powder improves feed conversion, weight gain, and survival rates.

Pro vet tip: After treating infections with Colmore Oral Powder, support recovery using Hepaklin for liver protection, and prevent coccidiosis flare-ups with Coctreat.

Target Animals

Ideal for poultry, swine, cattle, and other farm animals during brooding, weaning, or periods of high stress.

Description:

It Is a creamy white powder, freely and completely mixable with water and therefore suitable for all types of drinking water systems. Colistin is a cyclic polypeptide antibiotic and has a bacterial action against selected Gram-negative bacteria. The first bacterial effect of colistin is a blockade of the cell division of bacteria followed by a secondary progressive lysis. Susceptible bacteria are Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia Coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Haemonphilus spp., Pasteurella spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio spp., and Paracolon Bacteria (MIC values < 5mcg/ml). Some Pseudomonas species may be primary resistant. Colistin is hardly absorbed after oral administration (less than 1% of the administered dose) and therefore remains active only in the gastrointestinal tract.

It is indicated for treatment of gastrointestinal infections in calves, lambs, kids and poultry caused by bacteria susceptible to colistin particularly Colibacillosis and Salmonellosis.
