Capreomycin is a peptide antibiotic, commonly grouped with the aminoglycosides, which is given in combination with other antibiotics for MDR-tuberculosis. Adverse effects include nephrotoxicity and 8th cranial auditory vestibular nerve nerve toxicity.

The drug should not be given with streptomycin or other drugs that may damage the auditory vestibular nerve. Patients on this drug will often require audiology tests.

It is a cyclic peptide. Capreomycin is administered intramuscularly and shows bacteriostatic activity.[1]

Spectrum of susceptibility

Capreomycin is frequently used to treat Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections. Mycobacterium tuberculosis growth has been found to be inhibited at a concentration of 2.5 μg/mL.[2]
