There are no specific foods, drinks or activities that are specifically restricted while you're taking amikacin. Report any allergic reactions or side effects to your doctor. Avoid driving or using machinery until you're aware of how the medication affects you. If you get sleepy or dizzy more easily, avoid overexerting yourself and avoid standing too quickly.
