Your lab and care team may print a different limit. Very low troughs are expected with once-daily dosing.","sources":[{"title":"Amikacin Sulfate Injection prescribing information (Dosage and Administration, Boxed Warning, Clinical Pharmacology)","url":"https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/lookup.cfm?setid=0b56f6df-a05d-4520-8bf0-d7cefe20f6ad","publisher":"U.S. FDA label via NLM DailyMed (Hikma Pharmaceuticals)","year":2024},{"title":"Therapeutic drug monitoring of amikacin in Chinese premature infant: a population pharmacokinetic analysis and dosage optimization","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/41350991/","publisher":"BMC Infectious Diseases","year":2025},{"title":"Therapeutic drug monitoring of intravenous amikacin during peritoneal dialysis for Mycobacterium abscessus exit-site infection: a case report","url":"https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/42260686/","publisher":"Journal of Pharmaceutical Health Care and Sciences","year":2026}]}],"review":{"status":"ai-verified","label":"AI-verified against cited sources.
