Product Introduction

Netmicin 200 mg Injection is an antibiotic containing the active constituent Netilmicin, which belongs to the aminoglycoside group of antibiotics.

Uses

Bacteremia (viable bacteria in the blood) Septicaemia (bacterial blood poisoning) Respiratory tract infections Skin and soft-tissue infections Burns and wounds Peri-operative infections

How it works

Netmicin 200 mg Injection works by binding tightly to specific parts of the bacterial ribosomes. This binding disrupts the decoding site, where the cell reads genetic information, leading to errors in the synthesis of proteins. As a result, the bacteria can't produce essential proteins for their growth, rendering them unable to function properly. This mechanism makes this aminoglycoside effective against bacterial infections.

How to Use

Netmicin 200 mg Injection is given only in a hospital set up by a trained healthcare provider. It will be given to you as an injection into your muscle (intramuscularly) or directly into your veins (intravenous). Your doctor will decide your most apt dosage based on age, body weight, and physical circumstances.
