What is Amikacin?
Active Ingredients: Amikacin Sulfate
Amikacin Injection is an antibiotic drug used for the short-term treatment of serious bacterial infections. This drug is effective against bacterial septicemia, including neonatal sepsis. It is also indicated to treat infections in the respiratory tract, central nervous system, abdomen, and bones or joints.
Amikacin Injection may be used to treat infections associated with burns or surgery. It is also prescribed with other medications to treat tuberculosis.
Amikacin is classified as an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It works by blocking protein synthesis, which stops bacterial growth. This drug shows action against gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia, and Acinetobacter.
