Kacin Injection 100 mg/2 ml contains Amikacin, a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections. Amikacin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively stopping the growth and spread of susceptible bacteria.

It is commonly prescribed for severe infections caused by Gram-negative bacteria, including Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and other multidrug-resistant strains. Kacin is particularly useful in hospital-acquired infections, septicemia, urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, bone and joint infections, and intra-abdominal infections where first-line antibiotics are ineffective.
