Description
Gentamicin Mdv 80mg/2mL is a potent aminoglycoside antibiotic designed for intravenous administration. It is packaged in a glass flip-top vial to maintain the integrity of the solution, ensuring it remains sterile and effective for medical use. This formulation contains 80mg of gentamicin per 2mL, which necessitates dilution before intravenous use.
Gentamicin is primarily utilized in the treatment of serious bacterial infections caused by Gram-negative organisms. It is commonly indicated for conditions such as sepsis, pneumonia, and infections in the urinary tract, bones, and joints. Its mechanism of action involves inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to disruption in bacterial growth.
The drug's efficacy is enhanced through intravenous administration, ensuring rapid delivery to the bloodstream, especially in critically ill patients. However, as the solution is concentrated, it must be properly diluted before administration to avoid toxicity, particularly nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity.
