Plazomicin, sold under the brand name Zemdri, is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat complicated urinary tract infections.[1] As of 2019 it is recommended only for those in whom alternatives are not an option.[1] It is given by injection into a vein.[1]
Common side effects include kidney problems, diarrhea, nausea, and blood pressure changes.[1] Other severe side effects include hearing loss, Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea, anaphylaxis, and muscle weakness.[1] Use during pregnancy may harm the baby.[1] Plazomicin works by decreasing the ability of bacteria to make protein.[1]
Plazomicin was approved for medical use in the United States in 2018.[3][4] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[5] The price of 10 days of treatment in the United States costs about US$6,600.[6]
