Uses

Netilmac is primarily used to treat various types of bacterial infections.

Netilmac belongs to a class of medications called aminoglycoside antibiotics. Netilmicin, the active ingredient in Netilmac, works by inhibiting the production of proteins essential for the growth and survival of bacteria. By interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, Netilmac helps to eliminate the infection and alleviate the associated symptoms.
