Description
Kanacyn 0.5g/2ml Injection — Kanamycin Antibiotic for Severe Infections
Prescription Required. For administration by a healthcare professional only. Available at Derma.pk with valid prescription.
Kanacyn 0.5g/2ml Injection contains Kanamycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to bactericidal activity against susceptible gram-negative organisms. It is reserved for serious infections requiring parenteral therapy where oral or less potent antibiotics are insufficient.
Kanamycin is used in hospital settings for treatment of severe gram-negative bacterial infections including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, and septicemia. It is also used as part of multi-drug regimens for drug-resistant tuberculosis. Due to its potential nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, Kanamycin is used under close medical supervision with monitoring of renal function and hearing.
Manufactured by Continental Pharmaceuticals. Must be administered by a qualified healthcare professional only — never self-inject. Dose, frequency, and duration are determined by the prescribing physician based on severity of infection, patient weight, and renal function.
