Benefits

In Managing Bacterial Infections:
Mikacin 100mg Injection is a powerful antibiotic that halts the growth of harmful bacteria by interfering with their protein production. Administered by healthcare providers, it treats infections in the urinary tract, bones, joints, lungs, brain, and blood. Many patients begin to feel better within a few days, but completing the prescribed course ensures full recovery and reduces the risk of infection recurrence.

How to Use

This injection must be administered by a healthcare professional. Self-administration is not advised.

How It Works

Mikacin targets bacterial cells by binding to their 30S ribosomal subunit, which is responsible for making proteins vital for bacterial growth and survival. This action prevents bacteria from producing essential proteins, leading to their death or stopping their ability to multiply.
