Neomycin Sulphate BP Oral
Neomycin Sulphate BP Oral is an aminoglycoside antibiotic derived from Streptomyces fradiae. It is used primarily for treating infections caused by susceptible aerobic gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. The oral form is especially utilized for intestinal antisepsis, to reduce bacterial flora before gastrointestinal surgery, or to treat hepatic encephalopathy by decreasing ammonia-producing bacteria in the gut. It is available in powder or tablet form conforming to British Pharmacopoeia (BP) standards, ensuring high purity and efficacy.
Neomycin Sulphate BP Oral
Primary Uses
- Antibacterial Treatment
