Description
Gentamicin 10 mg/mL 2 mL Pediatric Single-Dose Vial is an antibiotic used for the treatment of serious bacterial infections in pediatric patients. It is particularly effective against a range of Gram-negative bacteria, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli, and Klebsiella species. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit, leading to bacterial cell death.
The formulation is designed for intravenous administration, requiring dilution before use to ensure safe and effective dosing. The 2 mL vial contains 10 mg/mL of gentamicin sulfate, making it suitable for pediatric dosing, with the precise concentration tailored for the needs of younger patients.
Due to its potential for nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, gentamicin therapy requires careful monitoring, including regular renal function tests and hearing assessments. Its use is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to aminoglycosides.
