Frequently asked Questions about Aycin 500 Injection

Question over 5 years ago

What is Aycin?

Aycin is a brand name for amikacin. It is a prescription drug which belongs to the class of medication known as an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It is a broad spectrum antibiotic which is used for the treatment of bacterial infection such as bone, joint, skin, intra-abdominal, pneumonia, and respiratory tract infection.

Does Aycin cover pseudomonas?

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Yes, Aycin is effective against bacteria (Pseudomonas). But it is also found that Pseudomonas can get resistant to this drug and in that case Aycin will not produce desired results.

Question almost 5 years ago

Can I take Aycin with penicillin?

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

No, Aycin cannot be taken with penicillin. Because penicillin inactivates the Aycin 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 Aycin 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.
