This antibiotic acts on susceptible bacteria by inhibiting protein synthesis, resulting in bacterial cell death. Similar drugs include gentamicin, kanamycin and neomycin. It is used in dogs and cats to treat certain serious bacterial infections. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eAmikacin is effective against specific bacteria and is not effective against fungi and viruses. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eAs with other aminoglycosides, amikacin is eliminated by the kidneys and has the potential to cause kidney damage. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eAmikacin is a prescription drug and can only be obtained from a veterinarian or by prescription from a veterinarian. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eUses of Amikacin for Dogs and Cats\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: Verdana\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 10pt\"\u003eAmikacin is used to treat certain serious bacterial infections.
