Spectinomycin, sold under the tradename Trobicin among others, is an antibiotic useful for the treatment of gonorrhea infections.[2] It is given by injection into a muscle.[2]
Common side effects include pain at the area of injection, rash, nausea, fever, and trouble sleeping.[2] Severe allergic reactions may occasionally occur.[2] It is generally safe to use during pregnancy.[2] It may be used by those who are allergic to penicillin or cephalosporins.[2] It is in the aminocyclitol class of drugs and works by stopping the making of protein by certain bacteria.[2]
Spectinomycin was discovered in 1961.[3] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[4] It is not available in the United States for human use.[2] It is made from the bacterium Streptomyces spectabilis.[2]
