Gentamicin Pharmacology Podcast Episode ...

ERIC CHRISTIANSON, PHARMD; PHARMACOLOGY EXPERT AND CLINICAL PHARMACIST
About this episode

On this podcast episode, I discuss gentamicin pharmacology, adverse effects, monitoring, drug interactions and much more!

Drug monitoring is critical with gentamicin. Trough and peak concentrations can guide therapy and identify someone at risk of toxicity.

Nephrotoxicity is a major concern with gentamicin. There are numerous nephrotoxic agents that can increase this risk. I discuss them on the podcast.

Ototoxicity is another risk associated with gentamicin. Loop diuretics like furosemide can increase this risk. Learn more on this podcast episode.
