SISOMICIN

About

SISOMICIN belongs to a group of antibiotic medicines called aminoglycosides used to treat bacterial infections. It is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. It is mostly used to treat infections caused by malignant diseases.
 
SISOMICIN contains Sisomicin, which works by inhibiting protein synthesis by binding to the ribosomal RNA of the bacteria, thus making the bacterial cell membrane defective. Thereby, it helps treat bacterial infections.
 
In some cases, SISOMICIN may cause side effects such as injection site reactions, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Most of these side effects may not require medical attention and resolve gradually over time. However, consult a doctor if the side effects persist or worsen.
 
Let the doctor know if you are allergic to any of the components in SISOMICIN. Consult the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Keep your doctor informed about your health condition and medications to rule out any side effects or interactions.
