Pharmacological Action

An antibiotic from the aminoglycoside group with a broad spectrum of action for topical use in otorhinolaryngology. It acts bactericidally, damages the cytoplasmic membrane, disrupts the flow of metabolites inside the cell and causes rapid death of microorganisms.

It is active against most gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus spp. (including strains resistant to other antibiotics), some strains of Streptococcus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Klebsiella spp., Haemophilus influenzae, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus spp., Serratia marcescens, Pasteurella spp., Vibrio spp., Borrelia, Leptospira spp., Mycobacterium tuberculosis (including strains resistant to streptomycin), which cause the development of infectious processes in the upper respiratory tract.

Treponema spp., some strains of Streptococcus spp., and anaerobic microorganisms are resistant to framycetin.

Pharmacokinetics

When applied topically, it has low systemic absorption.

Indications

As part of combination therapy for infectious and inflammatory diseases of the upper respiratory tract, including: rhinitis, rhinopharyngitis, sinusitis (in the absence of septal damage). Prevention and treatment of inflammatory processes after surgical interventions.

Pediatric Use

Special Precautions

During treatment, the appearance of resistant strains of microorganisms is possible.

Aminoglycoside antibiotics can cause reversible, partial or complete deafness and have a nephrotoxic effect when used systemically and when applied topically to open wounds or damaged skin. These effects are dose-dependent and are enhanced in cases of impaired liver or kidney function. The risk of their occurrence should be taken into account in case of topical application of high doses of the drug in children. Therapy should not be continued after the symptoms disappear.

Framycetin should not be used simultaneously with other antibiotics that have ototoxic and nephrotoxic effects ( streptomycin, monomycin, kanamycin, gentamicin).
