Sulfate is the active ingredient in netilmicin-containing medications. it is an aminoglycoside antibiotic.
Treatment of serious infections caused by susceptible gramnegative bacteria.
Often used for infections that are resistant to other antibiotics.
May be used in combination with other antibiotics for synergistic effects.
Netromax 10mg Inj (Netilmicin) inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, thus preventing bacterial growth and ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. This mechanism is specific to bacteria and does not affect human cells.
Store netilmicin at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Discard any unused portion after the expiration date. Follow specific storage instructions provided by your pharmacist or on the medication label.
Dosage is determined by the severity of the infection, patient's weight and renal function.
Administration is typically intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM).
Exact dosage and frequency should be prescribed and monitored by a physician.
Nephrotoxicity (kidney damage)
Ototoxicity (hearing loss or balance problems)
Nausea
Vomiting
Rash
Hypersensitivity reactions (allergic reactions)
Avoid alcohol consumption while taking netilmicin as it can exacerbate potential side effects, particularly kidney damage.
May cause dizziness or drowsiness in some patients. Avoid driving or operating machinery if experiencing these side effects.
Use should be considered only if the potential benefits outweigh the potential risks to the fetus or infant. Consult your doctor.
Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on age and weight. Dosage should be determined by a physician.
Renal function should be closely monitored during netilmicin therapy, as it can cause nephrotoxicity. Dose adjustments may be needed in patients with impaired kidney function.
While less common than nephrotoxicity, hepatotoxicity (liver damage) has been reported rarely. Liver function should be monitored, especially with prolonged treatment.
Please consult your physician or pharmacist for detailed information and official prescribing information.
