Aminosidine Sulphate USP, also known as Paromomycin Sulphate, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily used to treat parasitic infections and certain bacterial infections. It is a white or off-white crystalline powder, highly soluble in water, and typically administered orally or topically. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis in susceptible microorganisms, thereby exerting a bactericidal and antiparasitic effect. Aminosidine Sulphate is commonly employed in treating intestinal amoebiasis, leishmaniasis, and infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. Its inclusion in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) signifies compliance with strict quality and purity standards for pharmaceutical use.
