Crika-500

Crika-500 Injection is a potent, broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic. Arion Healthcare formulates this medication to combat severe, life-threatening bacterial infections. Each 2 ml vial contains Amikacin Sulphate I.P. equivalent to 500 mg of Amikacin to deliver fast-acting therapeutic action.

Healthcare professionals administer this injectable solution via intravenous (I.V.) or intramuscular (I.M.) routes in clinical settings. Crika-500 works by binding to the bacterial 30S ribosomal subunit. This action disrupts bacterial protein synthesis and causes rapid cell death. Consequently, it serves as a critical defense against multi-drug resistant Gram-negative pathogens and specific Gram-positive strains.
