ANTIBIOTIC POWDER
FOR ORAL ADMINISTRATION

COMPOSITION:
Each 1 gm contains:
Neomycin sulphate 200 mg

INDICATIONS:
Indicated for the prevention and treatment of bacterial enteritis in calves, sheep, goats, and poultry caused by bacteria susceptible to neomycin, such as E. coli, Salmonella, and Campylobacter spp.

PHARMACOLOGICAL PROPERTIES:
Neomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal aminoglycosidic antibiotic with particular activity against certain members of the Enterobacteriaceae, e.g. Escherichia coli.
Its mode of action is at the ribosomal level. When administered orally, only a fraction (<5%) is absorbed systemically; the remainder remains as the active compound in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal.
Neomycin is not inactivated by enzymes or food.
These pharmacological properties lead to neomycin being an efficacious antibiotic in the prevention and treatment of enteric infections caused by bacteria sensitive to neomycin.

Hypersensitivity to neomycin.
