For Urinary Tract Infection "My mother received this medication for a UT bacteria and it almost killed her. Prior to this medication, she did not have problems w/her kidney and then she was one hour away from Dialysis. Her levels of bun went up to 111 and her creatinine was 7.6. Since then her Bun has not been 'normal'. It is drug of double edge sword."

For Skin or Soft Tissue Infection "I did one injection of amikacin for Prostatitis and within 1 hour I was clumsy and had a feeling of being drunk. I felt as if I was going to stop breathing. One of the most horrible feelings ever experienced. I call my urologist and told him about my side affects and he advised me to stop taking it."

For Urinary Tract Infection "The injection hurts really bad. I can't walk even if it's been hours since I got it done. Maybe intravenously it will hurt less"
