Like other aminoglycosides, [[neomycin]] is thought to act by binding to [[bacteria]]l ribosomes and inhibiting protein synthesis. [[neomycin]] has activity against many aerobic gram negative and gram positive [[bacteria]], including the major [[E.Coli]] species resident in the colon as well as the enteropathogenic forms of [[E.Coli]] known to cause traveler’s diarrhea. Like other aminoglycosides, [[neomycin]] is poorly absorbed orally. The lack of absorption from the gastrointestinal tract is the basis of the main use of [[neomycin]], as an oral agent to suppress intestinal [[bacteria]]l flora. <br /> {{use}}<br /> Oral [[neomycin]] is indicated for treatment of infectious diarrhea, for suppression of intestinal [[bacteria]]l flora in patients undergoing colorectal surgery, and as a means of decreasing colonic [[bacteria]] and production of ammonia in hepatic encephalopathy. Topical [[neomycin]] is used for burns, wounds and ulcerations and as otic suspensions for external otitis. <br /> {{dose}}<br /> [[Neomycin]] is available in multiple generic forms including oral tablets of 500 mg. The typical adult dose of [[neomycin]] is 1 to 3 grams daily in four divided doses. <br /> {{se}}<br /> Long term therapy should be avoided because of the possibility of some systemic absorption and the high rate of oto- and nephrotoxicity associated with [[neomycin]] use. Other adverse events include nausea, diarrhea, and Clostridium difficile related colitis.<br /> {{coststubd}}<br /> {{Stomatological preparations}}<br /> {{Antidiarrheals, intestinal anti-inflammatory and anti-infective agents}}<br /> {{Antibiotics and chemotherapeutics for dermatological use}}<br /> {{Protein synthesis inhibitor antibiotics}}<br /> {{Throat preparations}}<br /> {{Otologicals}}<br /> [[Category:Aminoglycoside antibiotics]]<br /> [[Category:Cell culture reagents]]<br /> [[Category:DNA-binding substances]]<br /> [[Category:Otologicals]]</div>
