Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma Uses, Dosage, Side Effects, Food Interaction and all others data.
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma binds to 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, thus inhibiting protein synthesis. It has modest activity against a wide range of gm+ve and gm-ve organisms, though anaerobic organisms are mostly resistant.
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma is an aminocyclitol antibiotic produced by a species of soil microorganism designated as Streptomyces spectabilis. In vitro studies have shown spectinomycin to be active against most strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (minimum inhibitory concentration <7.5 to 20 mcg/mL). Footprint studies indicate that spectinomycin exerts regional effects on ribosomal structure.

- Men and women with known recent exposure to gonorrhea should be treated as those known to have gonorrhea.
How Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma works
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in the bacterial cell; the site of action is the 30S ribosomal subunit. It is bactericidal in its action.
Dosage
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma dosage
Adults (Men and Women): Inject 5 ml intramuscularly for a 2 gm dose.This is also the recommended dose for patients being treated after failure of previous antibiotic therapy
Intramuscular injections should be made deep into the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal muscle.
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma Sterile 2 grams Powder: Reconstitute with 3.2 ml of the accompanying water for injection with 0.9% Benzyl alcohol. Shake vials vigorously immediately after adding diluent and before withdrawing dose.
Side Effects
The following reactions were observed during the single dose clinical trials: soreness at the injection site, urticaria, dizziness, nausea, chills, fever and insomnia
Toxicity
Acute oral toxicity (LD50): >5000 mg/kg [Rat]. Information on overdosage in humans is not available.
Precaution
The usual precautions should be observed with atopic individuals. Prescribing Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma Sterile Powder in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria
Interaction
May result in lithium toxicity when used concurrently. May increase or prolong the neuromuscular blocking effect of atracurium.
Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma Disease Interaction
Elimination Route
Rapidly and almost completely absorbed after intramuscular injection.
Half Life
1 to 3 hours in patients with normal renal function and 10 to 30 hours in patients with impaired renal function with a creatinine clearance < 20 mL per minute.
Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use
Pregnancy Category B. Since there are no controlled studies of Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma in pregnant women, and because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human responses, Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.
Nursing Mothers It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma is administered to a nursing woman.
Contraindication
The use of Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma Sterile Powder is contraindicated in patients previously found hypersensitive to it.
Acute Overdose
Information on overdosage in humans is not available. Hemodialysis has been reported to aid in the removal of intravenously administered Spectinomicina 50% Chemifarma from the body.
Storage Condition
Store between 20-25°C. Reconstituted solution should be used within 24 hr after preparation.
