Product Introduction:
Aminogen Eye Drops is a medication containing amikacin sulfate as its active ingredient. It is an antibiotic eye drop used to treat bacterial infections of the eyes. Amikacin belongs to the class of antibiotics known as aminoglycosides, which work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria.
Aminogen Eye Drops stops the growth of bacteria and thereby helps to cure the underlying infection. Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely for administering this medicine in the eye. Wait for at least 5 minutes before applying any other eye medication. It should be used regularly at evenly spaced time intervals as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip any doses and finish the full course of treatment even if you feel better. Stopping the medicine too early may lead to the infection returning or worsening.
It is a broad-spectrum type of antibiotic effective in killing many types of bacteria. However, it will not work for other types of eye infections (e.g. viral) and therefore, should only be used if prescribed by your doctor. Unnecessary use of any antibiotic can lead to a decrease in its effectiveness in the future.
Common side effects seen with this medicine include temporary eye irritation and burning sensation after administration. Consult your doctor if these side effects persist or if your condition worsens. It may cause some short-term blurring of vision when first used. Therefore, do not drive immediately after administering this medicine. Contact lens should not be worn while you are using this medicine or while you have the bacterial eye infection.
