Product Description
Composition
Each g contains Neomycin Sulfate USP 700 mg.

Neomycin is a broad spectrum bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic. It irreversibly binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit of bacteria & thereby inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. After oral administration, only <5% is absorbed systemically & rest of the
active ingredient remains in the gastrointestinal tract of the animal. Orally administered Neomycin is almost all excreted unchanged in feces.
