Mikacin 1g/4ml 1000 mg

Mikacin 1g/4ml from Aristo Pharmaceuticals is a higher-strength preparation of amikacin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic reserved for serious bacterial infections under specialist care.

• Treats severe Gram-negative bacterial infections
• Used in hospital settings for sepsis, pneumonia and complicated urinary infections

Amikacin attaches to a part of the bacterial ribosome and disrupts how bacteria read their genetic instructions. This stops them from making essential proteins, leading to bacterial death.
