What is it used for?
Gentamicin injection is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections, especially infections caused by certain Gram-negative bacteria. It may be used for infections of the blood, lungs, urinary tract, abdomen or other parts of the body when prescribed by a doctor.

How does it work?
It kills susceptible bacteria by interfering with their ability to make essential proteins.

How to take/use it
This injection is given into a muscle or vein by a doctor or nurse. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type and severity of infection, kidney function and sometimes blood-test results. It should not be self-administered.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, injection-site pain or irritation, and headache may occur. Serious side effects can include hearing or balance problems and kidney problems.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about kidney disease, hearing or balance problems, dehydration, pregnancy or breastfeeding. Kidney function and, when needed, gentamicin blood levels may be monitored during treatment. Seek medical help for reduced urination, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, dizziness, severe weakness or breathing difficulty. Inform the doctor about other medicines, especially those that can affect the kidneys or hearing.
