Product Overview
About КАПРЕОМІЦИН
КАПРЕОМІЦИН is a medication containing the active ingredient Capreomycin, a polypeptide antibiotic used in the treatment of tuberculosis (TB). It belongs to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacterial cells, ultimately leading to their death.
Key Benefits & Uses
- Treatment of tuberculosis (TB), particularly in patients with multidrug-resistant TB.
- Used in combination with other anti-TB medications to prevent the development of resistance.
- May be used in patients who are intolerant to other anti-TB medications or have failed previous treatments.
Active Ingredient & Action
Capreomycin, the active ingredient in КАПРЕОМІЦИН, binds to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, preventing the attachment of aminoacyl-tRNA and thereby inhibiting protein synthesis. This leads to the death of bacterial cells, ultimately resulting in the clearance of TB infection.
Important Notes
КАПРЕОМІЦИН should only be used under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as it can cause nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Patients should be closely monitored for signs of kidney damage and hearing loss. It is essential to follow the recommended dosage and administration schedule to minimize the risk of adverse effects.
