An aqueous composition for aerosolization comprising amikacin being present at an amount from about 100 mg/ml to about 200 mg/ml.
An aqueous composition, consisting essentially of amikacin, a bronchodilator, and water.
A unit dose, comprising a container and an aqueous composition comprising amikacin, wherein the composition is preservative free.
A kit, comprising:
- a first container containing a first aqueous solution comprising a first antibiotic;
- and
- a second container containing a second aqueous solution comprising a second antibiotic,
- wherein the first antibiotic is amikacin and the second antibiotic is the same or different, and wherein a concentration, or an amount, or both of the first antibiotic is the same as, or different from a concentration, or an amount, or both of the second antibiotic.
The kit of claim 28, further comprising a vibrating mesh nebulizer.
A kit, comprising:
- a first container containing a first aqueous solution comprising amikacin;
- and
- a second container containing a second aqueous solution comprising an anti-gram-negative antibiotic,
- wherein a concentration, an amount, or both, of the amikacin of the first aqueous solution is different from a concentration, or an amount, or both, of the anti-gram-negative antibiotic of the second aqueous solution.
A kit, comprising:
- a first container containing a first antibiotic comprising liquid amikacin;
- and
- a second container containing a second antibiotic or salt thereof,
- wherein the first and second antibiotics are the same or different, and wherein a concentration, or an amount, or both of the first antibiotic in the first container is different from a concentration, or an amount, or both, of the second antibiotic or salt thereof in the second container.
A method of administering an antibiotic formulation to a patient in need thereof, comprising:
- aerosolizing a liquid amikacin formulation to administer the antibiotic formulation to the pulmonary system of the patient, wherein the antibiotic formulation has a concentration of amikacin ranging from about 100 mg/ml to about 200 mg/ml.
