Mikarol 500 Injection 2ml contains amikacin (500 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

• Amikacin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding itself to the 30S ribosomal subunit of the bacteria. This effectively stops the bacteria from multiplying.

• Instead of merely halting bacterial growth, amikacin goes a step further by killing the bacteria altogether. This action is known as bactericidal activity.

• Always store Mikarol 500 Injection 2ml vials below 25°C.

• Keep the product away from direct light.

• Avoid exposing the injection to excessive heat or cold.

• Always store this medicine out of reach of children.

• Use the medicine before the expiry date mentioned on the packaging.

• If you are managing a urinary tract infection, ensure you stay well hydrated. Drinking plenty of fluids can help flush bacteria out of your system.

• For patients managing pneumonia or other lung infections, avoid smoking and exposure to second-hand smoke. This can help your lungs heal faster and prevent further complications.
