Streptomycin is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis. It can prevent bacterial growth and has a strong bactericidal effect on Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Often used to treat tuberculosis or other tuberculosis conditions. Patients should use the medication as recommended by their doctor and should not stop or change the dose on their own. Side effects may occur during use, including tinnitus, nausea, vomiting, etc. You should inform your doctor in time. Pregnant women should use drugs under the guidance of a physician to avoid effects on the fetus. In Hong Kong, doctors will decide whether it is appropriate to use streptomycin based on the condition and the patient's specific circumstances. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately.
HOW TO USE: Streptomycin is an injectable antibiotic that should be administered by a healthcare professional in a medical facility. Patients should not self-inject this medication. Before injecting, make sure the injection site is clean and follow your doctor's instructions. It usually does not need to be taken with food, but patients should inform their physician about any allergic reactions or other drug use before injections.
Dosage Guidelines: Streptomycin dosage is based on the patient's condition and weight. The usual starting dose for adults is 15 mg/kg body weight daily, divided into 1 to 2 injections daily. Depending on the severity of the condition, the dose may be adjusted to 15 to 30 mg/kg body weight daily. For children, the dose is calculated based on weight and age, usually 10 to 20 mg/kg body weight per day, divided into injections. When using Streptomycin, patients should strictly follow the doctor's instructions and are not allowed to increase or decrease the dose or stop using it on their own.
STREPTOMYCIN is an antibiotic commonly used to treat tuberculosis. Its side effects include hearing loss, especially at high frequencies, which may be permanent. Other side effects include dizziness, nausea, vomiting, muscle weakness and allergic reactions. Some patients experience impaired kidney function after taking STREPTOMYCIN, so doctors usually monitor changes in kidney function and hearing. If any of the above side effects occur, you should consult your doctor immediately.
Drug contraindications: STREPTOMYCIN
STREPTOMYCIN is an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis and other infections, but may be dangerous to patients in some cases. The following are contraindications when using STREPTOMYCIN:
1. Allergic reaction: Patients allergic to STREPTOMYCIN or other aminoglycoside antibiotics (such as gentamicin, neomycin, etc.) are prohibited from using it. Allergic reactions may include severe reactions such as red and swollen skin, difficulty breathing, and swelling of the throat.
2. Abnormal renal function: Patients with severe renal dysfunction should avoid using STREPTOMYCIN as this may cause the drug to accumulate in the body and cause toxic reactions.
3. Deafness: STREPTOMYCIN may cause hearing loss, so patients with hearing problems or deafness should avoid using this drug.
4. Pregnancy and lactation: Pregnant and lactating women should use STREPTOMYCIN with caution under the guidance of a physician, because the drug may affect the fetus or infant.
Before using STREPTOMYCIN, always tell your doctor about your medical condition and any allergies. If any adverse reactions occur, you should stop using the drug immediately and seek medical advice. Remember to follow your doctor’s recommendations when using medications and avoid overusing or interrupting treatment on your own.
