Brokacin- 100 2 Ml Inj (20X2Ml) Amikacin 100Mg By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
Amikacin is an antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, including certain infections of the lungs, urinary tract, abdomen, blood, bones and joints. It is generally used when other antibiotics may not be suitable and is usually given in a hospital or under medical supervision.

How does it work?
It kills susceptible bacteria by blocking the production of proteins that bacteria need to survive and multiply.

How to take/use it
Amikacin is usually given as an injection by a doctor or nurse. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type of infection, body weight and kidney function. Do not self-administer or stop treatment early unless advised by the prescriber.

Common side effects
Pain or redness at the injection site, nausea and headache may occur. This medicine can also cause serious kidney or hearing-related side effects.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about kidney disease, hearing or balance problems, dehydration, or myasthenia gravis. Kidney function and, when needed, hearing should be monitored during treatment. Inform the doctor if pregnant or breastfeeding, or if taking other medicines that may affect the kidneys or hearing. Seek medical help for reduced urine, swelling, ringing in the ears, dizziness, balance problems or hearing loss.
