MBKACIN 250 (16x10x8x2mi) Amikacin 250 mg/2 ml Inj by Abbott

What is it used for?
Amikacin injection is a prescription antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, especially infections caused by certain bacteria that may not respond to other antibiotics. It is usually given in a hospital or clinic under medical supervision.

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

How to take/use it
This medicine is given by injection into a vein or muscle by a healthcare professional. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of infection, kidney function and response to treatment. Do not self-inject or stop treatment without medical advice.

Common side effects
Pain at the injection site, nausea, vomiting and headache may occur. More serious effects include hearing or balance problems and kidney problems.

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