Gentamicin

Gentamicin is a powerful antibiotic used to treat a wide range of serious bacterial infections, particularly those caused by Gram-negative bacteria. It belongs to the aminoglycoside class and works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, leading to cell death. Commonly administered via injection or infusion, gentamicin is often used in hospital settings for conditions like sepsis, urinary tract infections, and respiratory infections. Dosage is carefully monitored due to its potential side effects, which include kidney damage (nephrotoxicity) and hearing loss (ototoxicity). Regular blood tests are conducted to ensure therapeutic levels and prevent toxicity. It is generally contraindicated in individuals with pre-existing kidney or auditory conditions without close medical supervision.
