GENTAMICIN -
Noun: Gentamicin is a type of antibiotic. The injectable form is usually reserved for treatment, in hospital, of serious or complicated infections. These include lung, urinary tract, bone, joint, and wound infections and illnesses like Septicaemia . Gentamicin given by injection can have serious adverse effects on the ears, which may lead to damage to the balance mechanism and deafness, and on the kidneys. Courses of treatment are therefore limited to seven days when possible. Blood levels of Gentamicin will be taken daily to ensure levels are not going too high but not so low as to be ineffective. Report any dizziness, loss of balance, impaired hearing or changes in the urine immediately.
