Isepamicin
About Isepamicin
Isepamicin belongs to the group of antibiotic medicines called aminoglycosides used to treat bacterial infections such as lower respiratory tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections and septicaemia.
Isepamicin contains Isepamicin, which works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to 30s and 50s ribosomal subunits in susceptible bacteria. Thereby, it helps treat bacterial infections.
In some cases, Isepamicin may cause side effects such as electrolyte disturbances, ototoxicity (hearing or balance problems), and nephrotoxicity (rapid deterioration of kidney function). Talk to the doctor if you experience any side effects.
Let the doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in Isepamicin. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects/interactions.
