What is it used for?
Amikacin is a prescription antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to it. It is generally used when other antibiotics may not be suitable or effective.

How does it work?
It stops susceptible bacteria from making essential proteins, which prevents them from growing and surviving.

How to take/use it
Use only as prescribed by a doctor. Amikacin is usually given by a healthcare professional, and the dose and treatment duration depend on the type of infection and kidney function. Do not self-administer or stop treatment early unless advised.

Common side effects
Possible side effects include pain at the injection site, nausea, dizziness, ringing in the ears, hearing changes and reduced urine output. Kidney damage and hearing or balance problems can be serious.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about kidney disease, hearing or balance problems, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Kidney function and hearing may need monitoring during treatment. Inform the doctor about all medicines being taken, especially other medicines that may affect the kidneys or hearing. Seek medical help for reduced urination, severe dizziness, ringing in the ears or hearing loss.
