Amikacin 100 mg injection is an antibiotic medication that comes in the Tramika brand name. It’s used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections in different parts of the body. It belongs to the class of medicines known as aminoglycosides. Amikacin works by killing bacteria or reducing production growth.
It is very important to have the injection given by professional doctors and nurses. However, here are some steps to use Amikacin 100 Mg Injection.
For adults, the total daily dose of amikacin should not exceed 15 mg/kg/day and may be divided into 2 or 3 equally divided doses at equally-divided intervals. The solution is administered over a 30 to 60minute period.
For pediatric patients, the amount of fluid used will depend on the amount of amikacin sulfate ordered for the patient. It should be a sufficient amount to infuse the amikacin over a 30 to 60 minute period. Infants should receive a 1 to 2 hour infusion.
Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to amikacin or other aminoglycoside antibiotics like gentamicin or tobramycin. Amikacin may contain inactive ingredients that can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
Share your medical history with your doctor or pharmacist, especially if you have cystic fibrosis, hearing problems (including deafness or decreased hearing), kidney problems, low blood minerals (such as potassium, magnesium, or calcium), myasthenia gravis, or Parkinson’s disease.
Amikacin may affect the effectiveness of live bacterial vaccines, such as the typhoid vaccine. It is important to inform your healthcare professional that you are using amikacin before receiving any immunizations or vaccinations.
Amikacin is not recommended for use during pregnancy. While there have been reports of harm in babies born to women using similar drugs, there have not been reports of harm in babies born to women using amikacin. It is important to discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. Amikacin passes into breast milk in small amounts, but many doctors consider breastfeeding safe while using this medication. Consult your doctor before breastfeeding.
