CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
DBL
Amikacin Injection is indicated in the short-term treatment of serious
infections caused
by susceptible strains of Gram-negative bacteria (see section 5.1).
_ _
_Staphylococcus aureus,_
including methicillin-resistant strains is the principal Gram-positive
organism sensitive to amikacin.
The use of amikacin in the treatment of staphylococcal infections
should be restricted to
second-line therapy, and should be confined to patients suffering from
severe infections caused
by susceptible strains of stapylococcus who have failed to respond or
are allergic to other
available antibiotics.
DBL Amikacin Injection is indicated in the treatment of neonatal
sepsis when sensitivity testing
indicates that other aminoglycosides cannot be used.
In certain severe infections such as neonatal sepsis, concomitant
therapy with a penicillin type
drug may be indicated because of the possibility of infections due to
Gram-positive organisms
such as streptococci or pneumococci. If concomitant treatment with a
penicillin type drug is
indicated, then the drugs should be administered separately and at
different sites because
_in-_
_vitro _
mixing of the two drugs causes inactivation of amikacin.
