Spectinomycin Indication
For use in the treatment of acute gonorrheal urethritis and proctitis in the male and acute gonorrheal cervicitis and proctitis in the female when due to susceptible strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae.
Spectinomycin Pharmacology
Spectinomycin is an aminocyclitol antibiotic produced by a species of soil microorganism designated as Streptomyces spectabilis. In vitro studies have shown spectinomycin to be active against most strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae (minimum inhibitory concentration <7.5 to 20 mcg/mL). Footprint studies indicate that spectinomycin exerts regional effects on ribosomal structure.
Spectinomycin Absorption
Rapidly and almost completely absorbed after intramuscular injection.
Spectinomycin side effects and Toxicity
Acute oral toxicity (LD50): >5000 mg/kg [Rat]. Information on overdosage in humans is not available.
