INDICATION
While parenteral use is only approved in Dogs, Amikacin is used clinically to treat serious gram negative infections in most species. It is often used in settings where Gentamicin resistant bacteria are a clinical problem. The inherent toxicity of the aminoglycosides limit their systemic use to serious infections when there is either a documented lack of susceptibility to other less toxic antibiotics or when the clinical situation dictates immediate treatment of a presumed gram negative infection before culture and susceptibility results are reported. Amikacin is also approved for intrauterine infusion in mares.
