Capreomycin is an antibiotic which is given in combination with other antibiotics for the treatment of tuberculosis.[1] Specifically it is a second line treatment used for active drug resistant tuberculosis.[1] It is given by injection into a vein or muscle.[1]
Common side effects include kidney problems, hearing problems, poor balance, and pain at the site of injection.[1] Other side effects include paralysis resulting in the inability to breathe.[1] It is not recommended with streptomycin or other medications that may damage the auditory vestibular nerve.[1] It is not recommended during pregnancy as it may cause kidney or hearing problems in the baby.[1] Capreomycin is commonly grouped with the aminoglycoside family of medications.[2] How it works is unclear.[1]
Capreomycin was discovered from Streptomyces capreolus in 1960.[3] It was removed from the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines in 2019.[4]
