Drug Details
Paromomycin, marketed under the brand name Humatin, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat parasitic infections in the intestines, specifically amebiasis. It is also utilized in managing hepatic encephalopathy, a condition associated with liver disease that can lead to a coma due to high ammonia levels in the body. Paromomycin works by inhibiting the growth of parasites and bacteria in the intestines, preventing them from producing essential proteins needed for their survival. This medication is administered orally as a capsule and is not absorbed well into the bloodstream, hence it is effective only for intestinal infections and does not work for infections outside the gut. Common side effects may include nausea, stomach cramps, and diarrhea. It is important to use this antibiotic only as prescribed to avoid reducing its effectiveness, and it will not be effective for viral infections such as the common cold or flu. Always consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment.
