Colistin displaces the divalent cations of calcium (Ca2+) and magnesium (Mg2+) in a competitively way, impairing the LPS three-dimensional structure. Colistin then inserts its hydrophobic terminal acyl fat chain, causing an expansion of the external outer membrane (OM) monolayer.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
