Mikacin 250mg Injection

Product Overview

Mikacin 250mg Injection is an antibiotic used to treat or prevent a wide range of bacterial infections. It is commonly prescribed for infections affecting the urinary tract, bones, joints, lungs (such as pneumonia), brain, and bloodstream. It is also used in hospital settings to prevent infections in vulnerable patients.

This medicine works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria. It is administered either through an intravenous drip or as an injection into a vein or muscle under the supervision of a healthcare professional. Self-administration is not recommended. To achieve the best results, it is important to follow the prescribed dosage schedule and complete the full course of treatment—even if symptoms improve—because stopping treatment early can lead to worsening or recurrence of the infection.

Uses

Treatment of bacterial infections across various body systems.

How It Works

Mikacin interferes with the bacteria’s ability to produce essential proteins needed for survival. It binds to the 30S subunit of the bacterial ribosome, which prevents the formation of proteins, ultimately stopping the bacteria from growing or causing them to die.

Benefits

Effective in managing and treating infections such as urinary tract infections, pneumonia, joint and bone infections, bloodstream infections, and infections affecting the brain.

Helps alleviate symptoms and promotes faster recovery when used as directed by a doctor.
