It is effective against different types of bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Proteus species, S. aureus, Acinetobacter and Serratia species.

How to take Akasyn?

Dr. Abhijit MBBS , General Physician

Do not self-administer Akasyn. It comes in the form of injection and given preferably 2 - 3 times in a day (Intravenously). Discontinuing the medicine in between may promote resistant bacteria which result in a relapse of the infection. You are recommended to complete the 7 - 10 days course even after getting symptomatic relief. In case you feel any discomfort such as hearing loss and nephrotoxicity while taking Akasyn please inform your doctor immediately.

Question over 4 years ago

Does Akasyn cover pseudomonas?

Dr. Sameer Awadhiya MBBS , Pediatrics

Yes, Akasyn is effective against bacteria (Pseudomonas). But it is also found that Pseudomonas can get resistant to this drug and in that case Akasyn will not produce desired results. If you are experiencing no symptomatic relief after taking this medicine then inform your doctor and follow his/her instructions.

Question almost 5 years ago

Can I take Akasyn with penicillin?

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

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

Question almost 5 years ago

Does Akasyn cause thrombocytopenia?

Dr. Gaurav MBBS , General Physician

Occasionally, Akasyn can cause drug-induced thrombocytopenia (blood clot formation in the vessel). However, if you experience severe thrombocytopenia after taking this medicine, please immediately seek medical help.
