Hello,
The usual duration of treatment with amikacin injection is 7 to 10 days. It is desirable to limit the duration of treatment to short term whenever feasible.
The recommended dosage for adults with normal renal function is 15 mg/kg/day divided into 2 equal doses.Treatment of patients in the heavier weight classes should not exceed 1.5g/day.
The use of aminoglycosides may result in nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. The risk is greatest in patients with impaired renal function, those receiving high doses for prolonged periods of time, the elderly, and dehydrated patients.
Patient should be hydrated well during the treatment with injection amikacin and renal function tests should be performed before and during the therapy.
Tinnitus ( ringing in ear ) is a symptom of ear damage.
Thanks
