Gentamicin Information:

• What

What is Gentamicin?

 

Gentamicin is a generic, aminoglycoside antibiotic that is administered by liquid injection, and it is used to treat certain serious infections that are caused by bacteria including meningitis. It works by killing bacteria that causes infection.

Gentamicin is also used to treat infections of the blood, abdomen lungs, skin, bones, joints, and urinary tract. This drug is also sometimes used to treat pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) and granuloma inguinale, or donovanosis, a sexually transmitted disease (STD). It may also be used to treat other serious infections such as the plague.

• How

How do I use Gentamicin?

 

Gentamicin comes as a liquid to be injected either intravenously or intramuscularly. A healthcare professional may administer this drug to you in the hospital or at a doctor’s office, or at your home. If you will be administering Gentamicin injections to yourself at home, your healthcare provider will show you how to use the medication.

 

Do not stop using Gentamicin until you are done with all of your medication, and do not skip doses. If you do not finish using all of your medication, your infection may not be completely treated and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.

• Precautions

Before using Gentamicin, tell your doctor if:

 

• you are allergic to Gentamicin or any other medications

• you are taking any prescription or over-the-counter medications, vitamins, or nutritional or herbal supplements

• you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or if you are breastfeeding

• you have or have ever had cystic fibrosis

• you have or have ever had any problems with your muscles, such as Parkinson's disease

 

Additional precautions:

 

• If you are having surgery, tell your doctor that you are taking this medication.

• Antibiotics such as Gentamicin will not work to treat colds, flu, or other viral infections. Do not take antibiotics when they are not needed, as doing so increases your risk of getting an infection later that resists antibiotic treatment.
