Pharmacological properties
Pharmacodynamics
Colbiocin is a combined preparation with antibacterial action for topical use in ophthalmology. Its therapeutic effect is due to the activity of the main components that make up:
- tetracycline (rolitetracycline): a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Bacteriostatic activity of tetracycline against gram-negative bacteria Mycoplasma speciales (spp.), Chlamydia spp., Entamoeba histolytica and Rickettsia spp. associated with inhibition of bacterial protein synthesis at the RNA level (ribonucleic acid). Resistance of microorganisms to the drug develops slowly;
- chloramphenicol: a broad-spectrum antibiotic. Shows activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, Mycoplasma spp., Chlamydia spp., Rickettsia spp., Inhibits the synthesis of proteins of sensitive microorganisms. Fungi, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, are resistant to chloramphenicol;
- colistimethate sodium (antibiotic isolated from Bacillus polymixa var. colistinus): most gram-negative bacteria (including Haemophilus spp., Pseudomonas spp.) are susceptible to its bactericidal effect. Active against fungi. Colistimethate sodium is synergistic with broad-spectrum antibiotics and does not cause cross-resistance.
