Contraindication

Mode of Action
Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that binds to 30s and 50s ribosomal subunits of susceptible bacteria disrupting protein synthesis, thus rendering the bacterial cell membrane defective.
Precaution
Concurrent use of neuromuscular blocking agents; myasthenia gravis, parkinsonism; conditions predisposing to ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity; lactation. Monitor plasma concentrations of gentamicin in patients receiving high doses or prolonged courses, in infants, elderly, patients with renal impairment, cystic fibrosis or significant obesity. Monitor auditory and renal functions.
Lactation: safety in nursing infants unknown
Side Effect
Allergic contact dermatitis, Transient irritation, burning, stinging, Increased redness, lacrimation
Interaction
Additive effect w/ other neurotoxic and/or nephrotoxic drugs including cephalosporins, methicillin, amphotericin B, ciclosporin, cisplatin, potent diuretics (e.g. ethacrynic acid, furosemide) and neuromuscular blocking agents (e.g. succinylcholine, tubocurarine). May potentiate the effect of anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin, phenindione). May antagonise the effect of neostigmine and pyridostigmine. Increased risk of hypocalcaemia w/ bisphosphonates. Increased risk of neuromuscular blockade w/ botulinum toxin. Indometacin may increase the plasma concentration of gentamicin in neonates.
