Tell your doctor about all medicines you take, especially those that may affect the kidneys or hearing.

Possible Side Effects:
Common side effects may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, or injection-site discomfort. Seek immediate medical attention for reduced urine output, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, severe dizziness, balance problems, difficulty breathing, or signs of a serious allergic reaction.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding:
If you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding, inform your doctor before receiving Amikacin. It should be used during pregnancy only when clearly prescribed by a doctor after considering the potential benefits and risks.

Store the unopened vial as directed on the product label, generally at controlled room temperature and protected from excessive heat and light. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date.

Important Safety Information:
Amikacin is a prescription antibiotic and should be used only under medical supervision for appropriate bacterial infections. Complete the prescribed treatment course. Do not self-medicate or use it for viral infections such as the common cold or flu.
