How Amicin 100MG Inj Vial Works

Amikacin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It binds irreversibly to the 30S bacterial ribosomal subunit, inhibiting protein synthesis and causing bacterial cell death. It is bactericidal, especially against many aerobic Gram-negative bacteria.

For intravenous infusion or intramuscular injection only; to be administered by a healthcare professional. Dose is individualized by body weight, age, kidney function and infection severity; typically given in 1–2 divided doses or as once-daily dosing per clinician. Monitor renal function and drug levels when indicated; maintain adequate hydration.

Always follow your doctor's prescription. Do not self-medicate.
