What is it used for?
Gentamicin injection is an antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections caused by bacteria that are sensitive to gentamicin. It may be used for certain infections of the blood, lungs, abdomen, urinary tract or other parts of the body, as decided by a doctor.

How does it work?
It stops susceptible bacteria from making essential proteins, which kills the bacteria or prevents them from growing.

How to take/use it
This medicine is given by injection into a vein or muscle by a doctor or nurse. The dose and treatment duration depend on the type of infection, body weight and kidney function. Kidney function and, when needed, medicine levels may be monitored during treatment.

Common side effects
Injection-site pain, nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness may occur. Gentamicin can also seriously affect the kidneys or hearing, especially with prolonged treatment or higher doses.

Precautions
Tell the doctor if there is kidney disease, hearing or balance problems, dehydration, pregnancy, or a muscle or nerve disorder. Inform the doctor about all medicines being used, especially other medicines that may affect the kidneys or hearing. Seek medical help for reduced urine, swelling, ringing in the ears, hearing loss, severe dizziness, unusual weakness or breathing difficulty.
