Comparing the clinical profiles, pharmacokinetic behaviors, and safety indices of these two therapeutic agents.
Aminoglycoside antibiotic that binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit, inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by causing misreading of mRNA and incorporation of incorrect amino acids into the growing peptide chain.
XIFYRM is a monoclonal antibody that targets and neutralizes interleukin-36 (IL-36), thereby inhibiting the inflammatory signaling cascade involved in pustular psoriasis.
1-2 g orally every 6 hours for 7-14 days. Or 500 mg intramuscularly every 12 hours.
500 mg orally twice daily with food.

Terminal elimination half-life is 9–12 hours in patients with normal renal function; may extend to >20 hours in impaired renal function, necessitating dose adjustment.
Terminal elimination half-life: 15 hours; prolonged in renal impairment (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min) to 30 hours
Primarily renal excretion of unchanged drug via glomerular filtration; >90% of absorbed dose excreted unchanged in urine within 24 hours. Minor biliary excretion (<1%) with fecal elimination accounting for <1%.
Renal: 70% unchanged; Fecal: 20%; Biliary: <10%
