What is it used for?
Gentamicin injection is an antibiotic used to treat serious infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including certain infections of the blood, lungs, urinary tract, abdomen and other parts of the body. It is usually used in a hospital or under close medical supervision.

How does it work?
It stops susceptible bacteria from making essential proteins, which kills the bacteria and helps control the infection.

How to take/use it
This medicine is given by a healthcare professional as an injection into a vein or muscle. The dose and treatment duration are individually decided based on the infection, body weight and kidney function. It should not be self-injected.

Common side effects
Pain or irritation at the injection site, nausea and vomiting may occur. Gentamicin can also cause kidney problems, hearing loss, ringing in the ears, dizziness or balance problems, particularly with prolonged treatment or higher exposure.

Precautions
Tell the doctor if there is kidney disease, hearing or balance problems, dehydration, or a neuromuscular disorder. Kidney function and, when needed, blood levels, hearing and balance may be monitored during treatment. Inform the doctor about all medicines being used, especially other medicines that may affect the kidneys, hearing or muscles. Seek medical help promptly for reduced urination, swelling, unusual thirst, ringing in the ears, hearing changes, severe dizziness or muscle weakness.
