Gentamicin Sulfate comes in the form of an injectable solution and is usually administered directly into a vein or muscle every eight hours. Your doctor will recommend an appropriate dose for you based on an assessment of your current medical condition, other drugs you are currently taking, and your response to treatment. Laboratory tests including kidney functions, or blood tests may be done to help determine the best dose for your condition.
If you are administering this medication to yourself at home, ensure that you learn all preparation and usage instructions from your doctor. Always check the product visually for particles or discoloration before use. If either is present, do not use the medication. Continue using this medication until the full prescribed amount is completed, even if your symptoms go away after a few days. Stopping the use of Gentamicin Sulfate too early may allow bacteria to continue growing, and may result in a return of your infection.
