Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It is typically administered via injection or intravenous infusion, depending on the severity of the infection. Dosage and duration of treatment are determined by a healthcare professional based on the type of infection, patient weight, and kidney function. It's important to monitor kidney function and serum levels of the drug to avoid toxicity.
