DESCRIPTION

Neomycin is a broad-spectrum bactericidal aminoglycoside antibiotic, acting bacteriostatic in low concentrations and bactericidal in high concentrations.  Neomycin acts against both Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. Neomycin when administered orally, only a fraction (<5%) is absorbed systemically, the remainder remains as the active compound in the gastro-intestinal 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.
