Mikatax 100 (2Ml Vial) (2Ml) Amikacin 100 Mg By Alkem

What is it used for?
Amikacin is a prescription antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, especially infections caused by bacteria that may not respond to other antibiotics. It does not work against viral infections such as colds or flu.

How does it work?
It stops susceptible bacteria from making essential proteins, which kills the bacteria or prevents them from multiplying.

How to take/use it
Use only as prescribed by a doctor. Amikacin is commonly given by injection by a healthcare professional; the dose, route and treatment duration depend on the infection and kidney function. Do not self-administer or stop treatment without medical advice.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, and pain or irritation at the injection site may occur. Kidney problems and hearing or balance changes are important serious effects that need prompt medical attention.

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