Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic primarily used to treat infections in the gastrointestinal tract and to reduce the risk of infection during intestinal surgery. It is not absorbed systemically to a clinically significant extent when administered orally. It is mainly used today as an oral medication and for topical use. Systemic use is rare due to significant nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
Pharmacokinetics evaluated after oral administration in adults; minimal systemic absorption in individuals with healthy gastrointestinal mucosa.
