Clinical Significance
To obtain an Amikacin concentration that best represents the peak tissue level, draw the sample one hour after an intramuscular injection, 30 minutes after ending a 30-minute intravenous infusion, or immediately after a 60-minute intravenous infusion. When adjusting dosage, measure peak and trough levels during the same dosing interval.
