Medication indications

AMIKIN INJECTION 100MG/2ML

Amikacin sulphate is an aminoglycoside antibiotic which is active against a broad spectrum of Gram-negative organisms, including Pseudomonas spp, Escherichia coli, indole-positive and indole-negative Proteus spp, Klebsiella-Enterobacter-Serratia spp, Salmonella, Shigella, Minea-Herellae, Citrobacter freundii and Providencia spp.

Many strains of these gram-negative organisms resistant to gentamicin and tobramycin may show sensitivity to amikacin in vitro. The principal Gram-positive organism sensitive to amikacin is Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant strains. Amikacin has some activity against other Gram-positive organisms including certain strains of Streptococcus pyogenes, Enterococci and Diplococcus pneumoniae.

Amikin is indicated in the short-term treatment of serious infections due to susceptible strains of Gram-negative bacteria. It may also be indicated for the treatment of known or suspected staphylococcal disease.

Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents.
