Amikacin — Compare Prices at US & Canada Pharmacies
Compare real Amikacin prices at US and Canadian pharmacies, see official FDA uses and warnings, and find generic alternatives.
What is the typical out-of-pocket cost of amikacin without insurance coverage?
The standard retail price for amikacin without insurance is around $153.24 per 10 vials of 2ml at 500mg/2ml concentration. However, the actual price you pay can vary significantly depending on which pharmacy you use. Many patients find that using a prescription discount card or comparing prices across different pharmacies can substantially reduce this cost. Because amikacin is a generic medication rather than a brand-name drug, it tends to be more affordable than branded alternatives.
What should I expect to pay for amikacin if I have health insurance?
Your out-of-pocket cost for amikacin depends entirely on your individual insurance plan's formulary and your specific copay structure. Not all insurance plans cover amikacin, so contact your insurance provider directly to confirm whether the medication is covered and what your copay will be. If your plan does not cover amikacin or your copay is prohibitively high, you may want to compare prices using a prescription discount card or by shopping around at different pharmacies. This comparison can sometimes reveal lower prices than what your insurance copay would be, making it worthwhile to explore your options before filling your prescription.

Warnings & interactions
This is a summary of the official FDA label text, not personalized medical advice. It does not list every possible interaction or side effect. Always tell your prescriber and pharmacist about every medicine and supplement you take.
Boxed warning
WARNINGS Patients treated with parenteral aminoglycosides should be under close clinical observation because of the potential ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity associated with their use. Safety for treatment periods which are longer than 14 days has not been established. Neurotoxicity, manifested as vestibular and permanent bilateral auditory ototoxicity, can occur in patients with preexisting renal damage and in patients with normal renal function treated at higher doses and/or for periods longer than those recommended. The risk of aminoglycoside-induced ototoxicity is greater in patients with renal damage.
Contraindications
CONTRAINDICATIONS A history of hypersensitivity to amikacin is a contraindication for its use. A history of hypersensitivity or serious toxic reactions to aminoglycosides may contraindicate the use of any other aminoglycoside because of the known cross-sensitivities of patients to drugs in this class.
Warnings
WARNINGS See WARNINGS box above. Aminoglycosides can cause fetal harm when administered to a pregnant woman. Aminoglycosides cross the placenta and there have been several reports of total irreversible, bilateral congenital deafness in children whose mothers received streptomycin during pregnancy. Although serious side effects to the fetus or newborns have not been reported in the treatment of pregnant women with other aminoglycosides, the potential for harm exists. Reproduction studies of amikacin have been performed in rats and mice and revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to amikacin.
