Neomycin is an antibiotic medication used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to the aminoglycoside family of antibiotics, which work by preventing bacteria from making proteins that are essential for their growth and survival. Neomycin is effective against many different types of bacteria, including those that cause skin and respiratory infections, as well as some forms of food poisoning. It is also sometimes used to treat stomach ulcers caused by Helicobacter pylori bacteria. Neomycin is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and solutions for injection.
