It is commonly used in hospitals for serious infections such as sepsis, pneumonia, and infections of the urinary tract or skin. Gentamicin is typically administered intravenously or intramuscularly, depending on the severity of the infection and the patient’s condition. Common side effects include kidney damage, hearing loss, and dizziness. Regular monitoring of kidney function and drug levels is essential to avoid complications and ensure effective treatment.
