Streptomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections. Here are some key points about it:
  • Uses:
    • Streptomycin is effective against conditions such as active tuberculosis (TB), especially when other drugs cannot be used or in cases of drug-resistant TB.
    • It’s also used for other infections like brucellosis, tularemia, and plague.
  • Administration:
    • Streptomycin is given by injection, usually into a muscle.
    • The dosage depends on the type of infection, weight, and streptomycin blood levels.
    • During TB treatment, it’s usually used for 9 months or longer.
  • Precautions:
    • Seniors may be more prone to ear problems.
    • Lab tests may monitor therapy.
    • Inform your doctor about all medications you’re taking.
    • Complete the full course of treatment.
Remember, streptomycin won’t work for colds, flu, or viral infections. If you have any specific questions or need further details, consult your healthcare provider
