Spectinomycin HCL

Spectinomycin HCl (hydrochloride) is the hydrochloride salt form of spectinomycin, an aminocyclitol antibiotic. It is primarily used to treat bacterial infections, specifically those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. The drug works by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria, thereby stopping their growth. The hydrochloride form enhances its solubility and stability, making it suitable for injection. Spectinomycin HCl is often used in the treatment of gonorrhea and is typically administered through intramuscular injection.
