Product description :
Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that is found in many topical medications such as creams, ointments, and eyedrops. The discovery of Neomycin dates back to 1949. It was discovered in the lab of Selman Waksman, who was later awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology and medicine in 1951. Neomycin, belongs to aminoglycoside class of antibiotics which contain two or more aminosugars connected by glycosidic bonds. Neamine (two rings), Ribostamycin (three rings), Paromomycin (four rings) and Lividomycin (five rings) are some other examples of aminoglycosides. They have shown tremendous potential as antibacterials. One of them, Gentamicin has been used extensively, clinically. However, due to their inherent oto and nephrotoxicity, alternatives drugs have been used in recent times.
