Amikacin sulfate salt CAS:149022-22-0

Amikacin sulfate salt is a medication commonly used to treat serious bacterial infections. It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by interfering with the production of proteins in bacteria, thereby inhibiting their growth and spread.

Amikacin sulfate salt is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including some that are resistant to other types of antibiotics. It is often used to treat infections caused by gram-negative bacteria, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli.

This medication is typically administered via intravenous (IV) infusion or intramuscular injection. It is usually reserved for more severe infections or cases where other antibiotics have failed. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the specific infection, the patient's age, kidney function, and overall health.

Some common infections that may be treated with amikacin sulfate salt include urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia), sepsis, bone and joint infections, and skin and soft tissue infections.
