AMIKACIN-DRUG Test

What is the AMIKACIN-DRUG Test?

• Amikacin is a medication that is prescribed to treat severe bacterial infections. 

• The amikacin serum test measures the amount of amikacin – an aminoglycoside antibiotic – present in the serum. 

• The goal of the test is to ensure that the drug is present in sufficient quantities to treat the infection but not in such high concentrations as to cause any adverse reactions or toxic effects.

  Why Done? 

The doctor may recommend the test to determine the rate at which the drug is cleared from the blood, and then use the results to determine the appropriate dose and timing of quantities to ensure that the drug concentration in the blood is sufficient to treat the infection while not being too high to cause toxicity. 

A physician's decision on drug testing is based on several variables, including the patient's overall health, age, renal function, toxicity symptoms, and the presence of underlying illnesses.

Procedure: 

You'll have blood extracted from an arm vein.
