What is neomycin sulfate?
Neomycin sulphate is an antibiotic that effectively kills or inhibits bacteria in humans and animals. Applied orally with neomycin sulphate uses to treat intestine infections and as preliminary treatment before gastrointestinal surgery. The most common form of neomycin sulfate is local antibiotic ointment for the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin. In the form of liquid, nemerycin sulphate is used as eye drops for eye bacterial infections. Neomycin Antibiotic Cream is available without a prescription.
Russian-American Microbiologist Selman Waksman at Rutgers University discovered Neomycin in 1949. This was Waksman who first created the word "antibiotics". Neomycin sulphate is an antibiotic of the aminoglycosides family, derived from the bacterial family of Streptomyces, from which they come from other drugs such as streptomycin and po and partialCin. In addition to its availability as an antibiotic cream and oral antibiotics, neolycin is added to the vaccines to inhibit bacterial contamination of the vaccine during production.
neomycinSulphate is not easily absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and is therefore commonly used before surgery to suppress gastrointestinal bacteria. The small amount that is absorbed by the intestines is excreted by the kidneys. Repeated or large doses of oral nestycin could accumulate in the kidneys, causing kidney failure. Accumulation in the inner ear can cause hearing loss, even after the prescribed dosage period. Neomycin could respond with other oral prescription drugs, so it is important that the patient approves the doctor's drug regime before taking neomycin.
Most often prepared as an over -the -counter antibiotic cream, neomycin sulphate relieves smaller bacterial skin infections. Some patients are allergic to neomycin and may experience contact dermatitis with symptoms, such as targling, itching, swelling or rash on the skin. Hearing loss is vzA comprehensive but possible side effect and may occur long after the patient stops taking neomycin. Other serious side effects include diarrhea, swelling of the face, low blood pressure, intestinal problems and kidney damage.
