Common side effects
Injection-site pain or irritation, nausea, dizziness and headache may occur. Kidney problems and hearing or balance changes are important but potentially serious side effects.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about kidney disease, hearing or balance problems, dehydration, pregnancy, or neuromuscular disorders. Kidney function and, when needed, hearing should be monitored during treatment.
