Experiences with

Gentamicin

I took my first gentamicin injection last Wednesday and will have two more over the next two weeks. My doctor mentioned that I will feel wobbly after these injections. While I didn't experience any side effects after the first one, I'm unsure what to expect after the second and third.

Months … afraid that the condition will get much worse , in this time … Bacteria and fungal tests were negative and I also used some nystatin + chlorhexidin / gentamicin creams to be sure Thinking about pushing another doc for Dermovate / clobetasol ointment but not sure if somebody will give

I was wondering if there is anyone that is on Gentamicin and if it keeps Mr Monus in check? If this doesn't help it will be back to the Colomycin but its worth a try. Thank you. Linda

I have had a appointment with both neurosurgeons, consent forms signed,could be a year off yet, need to have intratympanic gentamicin ear injections before surgery. Anyone having similar Rich

Abigail Klein Leichman A group of Israeli researchers have discovered how a commonly prescribed group of antibiotics, aminoglycosides such as gentamicin, causes kidney damage in up to 25 percent of hospitalized patients.

I am currently using (since May) gentamicin sulfate cream. I am convinced that it makes me itchy around the site and I can't scratch it. The doctors and nurses suggested benadryl. That hasn't worked either.

says It will be monitored but I’m still concerned about it.Has anyone else had experience with nebulised Gentamicin.?

solution she said I can use Clorox wipes if they have bleach but check some don’t I can also you the spray bottle of Clorox bleach if I don’t won’t to make the solution .Then sanitize hands  then gather all my supplies exsept 3 ,4 by 4 gauze  , Iv gauze, dressing, tape , hand sanitizer, mask , lap pad gentamicin

Unable to start duritics for heart due to being on nasty gentamicin iv + another iv antibiotics feeling bloated and really uncomfortable.

Trying to nail it with nebulised gentamicin to avoid the dreaded hospital. Not doing too well with gentamicin as it effects mobility however l will persever for now. My concern is that l have stared to get a tingling like pins and needles in my left leg not painful just annoying.

Pseudonyms appear to be responding to gentamicin but l would like to make sure we are not missing any underlying symptoms. I was literally speechless. I ca not praise this GP enough and will be writing to the Practice manager to tell her what a wonderful Dr she is.

Have given up on Gentamicin tried it for 8days thought l was getting better. Woke up 9the day breathless struggling to walk at all . Has anyone else had similar symptoms have left message with respiratory team but still no answer.

I was diagnosed over 3 years ago have endured bronchoscomy x 2 and am currently on predisolone 20 mg daily, nebulised sabutomol and gentamicin 40 mg x 2 daily. On top of this I have just started, 2 weeks ago a course of immunosuppressants Azathioprine 50 mg a day! Phew!

everyone my antibotic klaricid clarithromycin appantly now resistant to my chest infection I hate changing as I'm worried about side effects doc supposed to ring me 25 mins ago lol to tell me what his gonna be offering me I'm allergic to penicillin so options will be doxycycline or ciprofloxacin or gentamicin

Should be good, as it means I can keep my immunity deficient body out of hospital, and also clear up some of these lingering infections which the Gentamicin nebulised twice a day and the Azythromycin three times a week, aren't controlling very well. Hopefully I will feel an improvement.

Been tried on Colomicin twice, but causing breathing problems, also given tobramycin and gentamicin, same problem. Consultant says he can't give me anything else, just have me in hospital when I have exacerbation.

Hi, my consultant believes that probably as a result of gentamicin my inner ear has been damaged. This means I have balance problems and my eyes "jiggle" i.e. when my head moves my eyes seem to bounce.

She had been put on gentamicin(antibiotics) for a month and took another sputum test afterwards its still there. So been put another 4 weeks course of gentamicin but last time did sputum test its still there. Now our specialist put her on another course (third time) plus oral ciprofloxacin.

She has been on gentamicin through IV and her chest infection is slowly clearing. However this is the normal pattern of things.
