MAKSHOT-500 INJ.

Product Description:

MAKSHOT-500 Injection contains Amikacin Sulphate 500MG, the highest standard strength for this aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is used in critically ill patients with severe gram-negative bacterial infections, particularly those resistant to other antibiotics. It is administered in ICU or hospital settings under close medical monitoring.

Key Benefits:

• High-strength formulation for serious, life-threatening gram-negative infections
• Retains activity against bacteria resistant to Gentamicin and other aminoglycosides
• Used in ICU settings for septicaemia, ventilator-associated pneumonia, and complicated infections
• Effective in combination therapy for multi-drug resistant organism (MDRO) infections

How It Works:

Amikacin enters bacterial cells and binds permanently to their ribosomes, blocking protein production. This kills the bacteria rather than just stopping their growth. At the 500MG dose, it achieves the high drug concentrations needed to overcome severe or resistant infections.

Dosage & Administration:

• Dose is strictly determined by body weight, kidney function, and drug blood level monitoring
• Complete the full prescribed duration ? stopping early risks treatment failure
• Administered as a slow IV infusion over 30?60 minutes by a trained hospital professional only

Precautions:

• Routine kidney function and hearing tests are essential during treatment at this dose
• Avoid use with other nephrotoxic (kidney-damaging) medicines including loop diuretics
• Drug level monitoring (peak and trough) may be required to prevent toxicity

Possible Side Effects:

• Hearing loss or ringing in the ears ? report any changes immediately
• Decreased kidney function or urine output
• Dizziness or loss of balance (vestibular toxicity)
• Injection site reactions

(Check with your Doctor if any of these side effects persist or worry you.)

• Single-use vial ? use immediately after opening and discard any unused portion
