Antibiotics
Gentamicin Sulfate is a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic that is highly effective against a wide range of gram-negative and certain gram-positive bacterial infections. This product, available in a 10mg per 2mL injectable single-dose vial (SDV), is commonly used in clinical settings to treat severe infections caused by susceptible bacteria. The precision formulation ensures accurate dosing and quick therapeutic response, making it an essential component in the management of infections in both inpatient and outpatient care.
Key Features:
- Broad-Spectrum Antibiotic: Gentamicin Sulfate is known for its ability to target and eliminate a wide array of gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, Serratia species, Proteus species, and more. It is also effective against certain gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus.
- Potent and Fast-Acting: This antibiotic works by binding to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and leading to bacterial cell death. The rapid bactericidal action makes it ideal for treating acute and severe infections.
- Single-Dose Vial (SDV): The 2mL single-dose vial ensures accurate dosing and reduces the risk of contamination, which is crucial in maintaining the sterility and effectiveness of the medication. The small vial size is convenient for use in various healthcare settings, including emergency care and inpatient treatment.
- Dosage Flexibility: The 10mg/2mL concentration allows for flexible dosing, making it suitable for a variety of patient needs, including pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations. It can be adjusted according to the severity of the infection and the patient's renal function.
- Indications for Use: Gentamicin Sulfate is indicated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections, such as septicemia, respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone infections, and more. It is often used when other antibiotics are ineffective.
- Compatibility: Gentamicin can be administered alone or in combination with other antibiotics, such as beta-lactam antibiotics, to enhance its spectrum of activity and efficacy, particularly in mixed bacterial infections.
