Actions and SpectrumÂ
isepamicin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacterial ribosomes, which are essential for the synthesis of bacterial proteins.  Â
Frequency not defined Â
OtotoxicityÂ
Respiratory depression Â
Muscular paralysisÂ
NephrotoxicityÂ
Electrolyte disturbances
Black Box WarningÂ
None
Contraindication/Caution:Â
None Â
Pregnancy consideration:Â
Pregnancy category: N/AÂ
Lactation: Excretion into human milk is unknown Â
Pregnancy Categories:        Â
Category A: well-controlled and Satisfactory studies show no risk to the fetus in the first or later trimester.Â
<b>Category B: there was no evidence of risk to the fetus in animal studies, and there were not enough studies on pregnant women. Â
Category C: there was evidence of risk of adverse effects in animal reproduction studies, and no adequate evidence in human studies must take care of potential risks in pregnant women.Â
Category D: adequate data with sufficient evidence of human fetal risk from various platforms, but despite the potential risk, and used only in emergency cases for potential benefits.Â
Category X: Drugs listed in this category outweigh the risks over benefits. Hence these categories of drugs need to be avoided by pregnant women.Â
Category N: There is no data available for the drug under this category.Â
Pharmacology Â
isepamicin disrupts the process of protein synthesis, ultimately leading to the death of the bacterial cells. This mechanism of action is bactericidal, meaning it kills the bacteria rather than just inhibiting their growth.Â
PharmacodynamicsÂ
isepamicin can exhibit a post-antibiotic effect, which is the continued suppression of bacterial growth even after the drug has been eliminated from the body. Â
PharmacokineticsÂ
Absorption  Â
isepamicin has low oral bioavailability and it is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract.Â
DistributionÂ
isepamicin having small volume of distribution in body.Â
MetabolismÂ
isepamicin is not significantly metabolized in the body. Â
Elimination and excretionÂ
isepamicin is excreted through the kidneys.
AdministrationÂ
isepamicin is administered through intravenous (IV) or intramuscular (IM) routes.

Why do we use isepamicin?Â
isepamicin is an antibiotic that is used to treat various bacterial infections.  Â
isepamicin may be used for the treatment of systemic infections, such as septicemia. Â
isepamicin is also used to treat UTIs caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria.Â
