Amikacin injection is an antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, especially those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It is administered intramuscularly or intravenously to combat infections like respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and sepsis. Amikacin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively killing the bacteria. Common side effects include kidney toxicity, hearing loss, dizziness, and injection site pain. Monitoring kidney function and hearing is important during treatment. It is typically reserved for severe infections when other antibiotics are ineffective or contraindicated.
