Description
Amikacin Sulfate Product Overview
Amikacin sulfate is a white to off-white crystalline powder that dissolves freely in water. Producers make it from kanamycin A by adding a side chain that protects it against many bacterial enzymes, so it often remains active where other aminoglycosides such as gentamicin fail. Its strength appears as potency of at least 674 µg amikacin per mg.
In addition, pharmaceutical companies use it in solutions for injection and infusion in hospitals, and in inhalation products, including liposomal forms. Similarly, veterinary producers use it in some injectable products. Other aminoglycosides in our range also include Neomycin sulfate and Streptomycin Sulfate.
Because it is injected, sterile production with endotoxin control remains required. Zyntex therefore supplies amikacin sulfate only to licensed pharmaceutical companies.
