What is Garamycin
Gentamicin
The Generic name of this drug
Treatment Summary
Gentamicin is an antibiotic that was first discovered in 1963. It is commonly used to treat severe bacterial infections, including those caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Gentamicin is effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, and when used in combination with other antibiotics, it can increase the effectiveness of treatment while reducing the risk of side effects. Unfortunately, gentamicin can also have serious side effects such as kidney and ear damage.

Effectiveness
How Garamycin works in the body
Aminoglycosides are a type of drug that works to kill bacteria. They do this in three key steps. Firstly, they bind electrostatically to the cell membranes of bacteria, increasing the permeability of the membrane. Secondly, the drugs enter the cytoplasm and bind to the bacterial ribosome. This causes proteins to be mistranslated, damaging the cytoplasmic membrane. Finally, the drugs accumulate in the cell and inhibit protein synthesis, leading to bacterial death. This process is ineffective against anaerobic bacteria due to its dependence on oxygen.
When to interrupt dosage
The endorsed measure of Garamycin is reliant upon the diagnosed condition, such as Blepharitis, Corneal infection and Dermatitis infected. The level of dosage fluctuates as per the technique of delivery (e.g. Intravenous or Liquid - Ophthalmic; Topical) presented in the table beneath.

Garamycin Toxicity & Overdose Risk
Gentamicin can cause damage to the kidneys and hearing, which is known as nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity. Symptoms of nephrotoxicity include higher levels of creatinine and urea, while symptoms of ototoxicity include balance issues, nausea, ringing in the ears, and hearing loss. Long-term use of gentamicin increases the risk of both types of toxicity. Gentamicin primarily causes damage to the inner ear's balance system and not its hearing system. It is difficult to predict when ototoxicity will occur, so it is important to closely monitor the patient. If toxicity or overdose occurs, the
