Amikacin 250 Mg injection

About Amikacin 250 Mg injection

Amikacin 250 mg injection is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by gram-negative bacteria. It is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, intra-abdominal infections, and septicemia. Amikacin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, leading to the destruction of bacteria. It is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly under medical supervision. The dosage depends on the patient's condition, age, and kidney function. Amikacin is often used when other antibiotics are ineffective. Close monitoring is essential to avoid side effects, including kidney damage and hearing loss, especially with prolonged use.
