How Capastat Sulfate Affects Patients

Capreomycin is a type of antibiotic that can help fight against tuberculosis (TB). It is part of a group of antibiotics that work against many different kinds of bacteria.

How Capastat Sulfate works in the body

Capreomycin works by disrupting protein production in bacteria. It binds to the 70S ribosome, a component necessary for synthesizing proteins, and also binds to other parts of the bacterial cell. This binding leads to the production of faulty proteins, which are essential for the bacteria to survive. Without these proteins, the bacteria will eventually die.
