Product Overview:
Tobramycin Sulfate 40mg/mL Injectable is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic designed for the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria. This injectable formulation is typically used in hospital settings to manage severe infections where other antibiotics may not be effective or when rapid therapeutic levels are required.
Key Features:
- Potent Aminoglycoside Antibiotic:
- Tobramycin belongs to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics, known for its effectiveness against a wide range of Gram-negative bacterial infections, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella species, and others.
- Each vial contains 50mL of solution with a concentration of 40mg of Tobramycin per milliliter, ensuring a robust dosage for the treatment of serious infections.
- Tobramycin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, leading to the death of the bacteria. Its bactericidal activity makes it particularly useful in treating life-threatening infections.
- This injectable formulation can be administered intravenously (IV) or intramuscularly (IM), offering flexibility in treating patients with different needs and conditions.
- The solution is sterile and free from pyrogens, reducing the risk of infection or adverse reactions during administration.
