Amikacin Injection

Product Description

Amikacin Injection is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for conditions such as urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, bone and joint infections, abdominal infections, and septicemia. Amikacin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth of bacteria. It is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly under medical supervision. This medication is reserved for severe infections where other antibiotics are ineffective. Commonly used in hospital settings, Amikacin requires careful monitoring of kidney function and hearing, as it carries a risk of nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity with prolonged use or high doses.
