What Is Streptomycin Sulphate Powder?

Streptomycin sulfate powder is a potent antibiotic widely used in both human and veterinary medicine. It belongs to the aminoglycoside class and is primarily effective against gram-negative bacteria and certain types of gram-positive bacteria. Discovered in the 1940s, streptomycin was one of the first antibiotics effective against tuberculosis, marking a major milestone in infectious disease treatment.

Chemical and Physical Properties

Streptomycin sulfate appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder. It is water-soluble and typically supplied in sterile form for injection or in raw powder form for pharmaceutical compounding. It is a salt of streptomycin and sulfuric acid, enhancing its stability and solubility.

Mechanism of Action

Streptomycin works by binding to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, disrupting protein synthesis. This interruption leads to faulty protein production, ultimately killing the bacterial cell. It is bactericidal, meaning it destroys bacteria rather than merely inhibiting their growth.

Dosage and Administration

Streptomycin sulfate is usually administered via intramuscular injection. Dosage depends on the patient’s age, weight, kidney function, and severity of infection. Because it can be toxic to the kidneys and ears (nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity), careful monitoring is essential during treatment.

Precautions and Side Effects

Side effects can include dizziness, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, kidney damage, and allergic reactions. Long-term use or high doses increase the risk of toxicity. It is not recommended for use during pregnancy unless absolutely necessary, due to potential harm to the fetus.

Storage and Handling

The powder should be stored in a cool, dry place away from light and moisture. It must be reconstituted with sterile water before use and handled under strict aseptic conditions in medical settings.
