    Nebcin Injection (80 mg/2 mL) – Tobramycin

    Composition:

    • Active Ingredient: Tobramycin 80 mg per 2 mL

    Indications:

    • Used for the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria, including:
      • Respiratory tract infections
      • Urinary tract infections
      • Intra-abdominal infections
      • Bone and joint infections
      • Skin and soft tissue infections

    Mechanism of Action:

    • Tobramycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, causing misreading of mRNA and ultimately leading to cell death.

    Dosage:

    • The dosage of Tobramycin is determined by the type and severity of the infection, the patient’s renal function, and other individual factors.
    • Commonly, the dose may range from 3 to 5 mg/kg/day, divided into two or three doses.
    • For pediatric patients, dosing is typically based on body weight.

    Side Effects:

    • Common Side Effects: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, rash, and injection site reactions.
    • Serious Side Effects: Nephrotoxicity (kidney damage), ototoxicity (hearing loss), and neuromuscular blockade, especially in patients with pre-existing conditions.

    Contraindications:

    • Not recommended for individuals with:
      • Known hypersensitivity to tobramycin or other aminoglycosides.
      • Pre-existing kidney dysfunction.

    Storage:

    • Store in a cool, dry place away from light. After reconstitution, the solution should be used promptly or stored in the refrigerator and used within a specified timeframe.

    Precautions:

    • Renal function should be monitored during therapy, as adjustments to dosing may be necessary in patients with impaired renal function.
    • Caution is advised in patients with hearing impairment or those on concurrent nephrotoxic medications.

    Patient Counseling:

    • Instruct patients to report any signs of hearing loss, dizziness, or changes in urine output.
    • Emphasize the importance of completing the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve early.
    • Discuss potential side effects and the need for regular monitoring during treatment.

    For personalized advice and specific recommendations, always consult with a healthcare professional or refer to the product packaging.
