Humatin (Paromomycin Sulfate)

Humatin Information:

Humatin (Generic name: Paromomycin sulfate) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that is used in the treatment of systemic infections caused by susceptible bacteria and protists. It is prescribed for the treatment of parasitic infections such as intestinal (excluding extraintestinal) amebiasis, giardiasis, leishmaniasis, tapeworm infection (taeniasis), hepatic encephalopathy (coma), and bacterial infections where there is strong evidence of its efficacy. Humatin is an amebicide and an orally available aminoglycoside antibiotic. Paromomycin belongs to the class of medicines known as aminoglycoside antibiotics. It works to treat infections by inhibiting protein synthesis in the targeted pathogens to stop their growth. To maintain the usefulness of Humatin and prevent the development of drug-resistant bacteria, Humatin should be prescribed only where the outcomes of a sensitivity test or local epidemiological data or antimicrobial susceptibility patterns support its use.

Humatin Side Effects:

Like any other drug, Humatin may cause some side effects on usage. However, Humatin is fairly well-tolerated by both children and adults. The common side effects of Humatin may include nausea, stomach upset, and mild diarrhea. These are usually mild and not everybody that takes Humatin experiences them. However, call in to see your doctor immediately if you experience a serious adverse effect or an allergic reaction following Humatin use. These severe side effects may include copious bloody or watery diarrhea or a worsening condition. Symptoms of an ongoing allergic reaction may also include hives, face, lip, and leg swelling, and difficulty with breathing.

Humatin Directions:

Humatin is supplied as capsules, each containing Paromomycin sulfate equivalent to 250 mg Paromoycin. For the treatment of intestinal amebiasis in most adults, Humatin is recommended for use by mouth at 25 to 35 mg/kg/day in 3 divided doses with meals for 5 to 10 days. The equivalent dosage is to be taken in units of 250 mg capsules. This dosage regimen also applies to pediatric patients according to their body weight and resultant individual doses. In the treatment of hepatic coma, Humatin is administered at 4 g/day in divided doses (at regular intervals) for 5 to 6 days. Use Humatin exactly as directed for maximum effectiveness.

Humatin Precautions:

You should not take Humatin if you are allergic to Paromomycin sulfate or any other ingredients contained in Humatin capsules. Before taking this medication, discuss with your doctor all medical conditions that you may have, especially if you have an intestinal obstruction, active gut inflammation, or kidney disease. Your doctor may not prescribe Humatin for you in such conditions. Tell the doctor about the medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking or planning to take. Humatin may interact with and reduce the efficacy of esomeprazole (Nexium) used in treating peptic ulcers. Before you take Humatin, tell the doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or planning to. It is possible that you feel better before you exhaust your prescribed amount of Humatin. Ensure you complete your treatment regimen to aid the total clearance of infections and prevent the development of resistance to Humatin and other antibiotics.
