Uses of Amikacin 500mg

This medication is used to prevent or treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. Amikacin belongs to a class of drugs known as aminoglycoside antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

Directions of use

  • Every 8 or 12 hours, a liquid form of the antibiotic amikacin injection is administered intravenously or intramuscularly (two or three times a day). Amikacin is typically infused (slowly given) intravenously for 30 to 60 minutes. The sort of infection you have will determine how long your therapy will last.
  • Amikacin injections can be administered either in a hospital setting or at home. Your healthcare practitioner will demonstrate how to administer the drug if you will be receiving an amikacin injection at home. Make sure you comprehend these instructions, and if you have any issues, consult your healthcare professional.
  • During the initial days of amikacin injectable therapy, you should start to feel better. Call your doctor if your symptoms don’t go away or get worse.
  • Even if you feel better, keep using the amikacin injection until the prescription is finished. Your illness could not be entirely treated if you stop using amikacin injections too soon or skip doses, and the bacteria might develop antibiotic resistance.
  • For a copy of the manufacturer’s information for the patient, ask your chemist or doctor.
