Spectinomycin Sterile Powder is indicated in the treatment of:

  • Acute gonorrheal urethritis and proctitis in the male
  • Acute gonorrheal cervicitis and proctitis in the female
  • Men and women with known recent exposure to gonorrhea should be treated as those known to have gonorrhea.

Pharmacology

Tinobac Sterile Powder contains Spectinomycin Hydrochloride which is an aminocyclitol antibiotic produced by a species of soil microorganism designated as Streptomyces spectabilis. Spectinomycin Hydrochloride is an inhibitor of protein synthesis in the bacterial cell; the site of action is the 30S ribosomal subunit. In vitro studies have shown Spectinomycin Hydrochloride to be active against most strains of Neisseria gonorrhoeae

Dosage And Administration

Adults (Men and Women): Inject 5 ml intramuscularly for a 2 gm dose.This is also the recommended dose for patients being treated after failure of previous antibiotic therapy.

Intramuscular injections should be made deep into the upper outer quadrant of the gluteal muscle.

Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in the pediatric population have not been established.

Side Effects

The following reactions were observed during the single dose clinical trials: soreness at the injection site, urticaria, dizziness, nausea, chills, fever and insomnia

Pregnancy And Lactation

Pregnancy Category B. Since there are no controlled studies of Spectinomycin in pregnant women, and because animal reproduction studies are not always predictive of human responses, Spectinomycin should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed. It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, caution should be exercised when Spectinomycin is administered to a nursing woman.

Precautions And Warnings

The usual precautions should be observed with atopic individuals. Prescribing Spectinomycin Sterile Powder in the absence of a proven or strongly suspected bacterial infection or a prophylactic indication is unlikely to provide benefit to the patient and increases the risk of the development of drug-resistant bacteria.

Overdose Effects

Information on overdosage in humans is not available. Hemodialysis has been reported to aid in the removal of intravenously administered Spectinomycin from the body.
