Kantrex

Kanamycin sulfate (Kantrex®) is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, available in both oral and intravenous forms, and used to treat a wide variety of infections.

Common side effects include changes in hearing (either hearing loss or ringing in the ears), toxicity to kidneys, and allergic reactions to the drug.

Kanamycin works by affecting an unknown aspect of translocation, and by causing messenger RNA (mRNA) to be misread by the ribosome, causing a lethal level of translational errors.
