    This document provides information about the drug gentamycin, including its indication, mechanism of action, drug interactions, contraindications, adverse effects, and nursing considerations. Gentamycin is used to treat serious infections caused by sensitive bacteria. It works by inhibiting protein synthesis through binding to the 30s ribosomal subunit. Notable drug interactions and increased risks include ototoxicity and nephrotoxicity when combined with other aminoglycosides, anesthetics, or diuretics. Contraindications are hypertension to the drug or other aminoglycosides. Adverse effects involve the central nervous system, cardiovascular, ears/eyes/throat, gastrointestinal, and musculoskeletal systems. Nursing considerations include obtaining cultures before treatment, monitoring hearing and
