Neomycin Sulphate BP Oral
Whatsapp Order
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.
Description
Neomycin Sulphate BP Oral
Primary Uses
- Antibacterial Treatment
- Used to treat localized infections caused by susceptible bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.
- Administered orally for preoperative bowel sterilization to prevent postoperative infections.
- Hepatic Encephalopathy
- Reduces intestinal bacteria that produce ammonia, helping to manage symptoms of hepatic encephalopathy.
- Intestinal Antisepsis
- Used to suppress or eliminate pathogenic bacteria in the intestines during treatment of bacterial infections or before surgery.
Secondary Uses
- Combination Therapy
- Sometimes used with other antibiotics for treating resistant bacterial infections.
- Topical Use (Off-label)
- Although primarily oral, neomycin sulfate may be part of topical formulations for minor skin infections in certain cases.
- Veterinary Applications
- Occasionally used orally in veterinary medicine for intestinal infections under veterinary guidance.
