Frequently asked Questions about Amiact 500 Injection

Question about 5 years ago

Can I take Amiact without consulting a doctor?

Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician

Amiact is a prescription drug, hence do not take Amiact without consulting doctor. It can be harmful to patients to take this medicine without a doctor's advice.

Question almost 5 years ago

Can I take Amiact with penicillin?

Dr. Braj Bhushan Ojha BAMS , Gastroenterology, Dermatology, Psychiatry, Ayurveda, Sexology, Diabetology

No, Amiact cannot be taken with penicillin. Because penicillin inactivates the Amiact by combining the beta-lactam ring of penicillin with an amino group of this drug to form amide which is biologically inactive. For this reason Amiact should not be taken with penicillin. The chances of inactivation of this drug are higher in case of renal failure because in this case concentration of penicillin is higher in the kidney for a longer time as compared to the normal renal function.
