I am starting on Amikacin next week. When you dilute Amikacin with sodium chloride, which sodium chloride do you use (0.9 or 7%)? What is the approximate ratio? Thank you.

I get the 0.9% but I only dilute with 5mL (you can not reuse the rest so dispose of it) per doctors orders. That helps the Amikacin 2mL to not be as harsh on the throat. I am MWF and have not had any issues.
