Effect of Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) on the Pharmacokinetics of Amikacin: A Future Antimicrobial Polypharmacy

The pharmacokinetic study of Amikacin with interaction of W. somnifera was investigated after single administration of 10 mg/kg of Amikacin intravenously and 500 mg/kg of W. somnifera orally in six non-descript healthy buffalo calves. Estimation of concentration of Amikacin in plasma was carried out by microbiological assay technique (Agar gel diffusion technique) by using Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) as test organism. Following a single administration of 10 mg/kg of Amikacin intravenously and 500 mg/kg of W. somnifera orally in six non-descript healthy buffalo calves, plasma concentration of Amikacin, at 1 min of combined administration of these drugs were 17.05 ± 0.28 μg/ml.
