Description

Pharmacokinetics:

Netilmicin, the active ingredient in Netilmicin Ophthalmic Solution, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic with potent bactericidal activity against a wide range of Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

Netilmicin Ophthalmic Solution acts by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit, thereby inhibiting protein synthesis and ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. Its broad spectrum of activity and low incidence of resistance make it an ideal choice for the treatment of bacterial conjunctivitis and other ocular infections caused by susceptible organisms.
