Name : C

Description

Animal reproduction studies have shown an adverse effect on the fetus and there are no adequate and well-controlled studies in humans, but potential benefits may warrant use of the drug in pregnant women despite potential risks

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.

Interaction

Synergistic with ampicillin, benzylpenicillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics. Increased risk of severe respiratory depression when used concurrently with anaesthetics or opioids. May reduce renal clearance of zalcitabine and induce hypocalcaemia when used with biphosphonates. Not to be used with agalsidase alfa or beta as it may inhibit alpha-galactosidase activity. Potentially Fatal: Increased incidence of ototoxicity when combined with ethacrynic acid and furosemide. Cephalosporins, ciclosporin, cisplatin, vancomycin, hydrocortisone and indometacin potentiate nephrotoxicity. Potentiates neuromuscular blocking agents.
