Gentamicin Poisoning in New York
Gentamicin sulfate is a powerful antibiotic delivered intravenously to patients in hospitals, nursing homes and home healthcare settings to combat severe infections. Gentamicin is an effective treatment, but only when properly administered and monitored by a medical professional. Extended use and high dosages of gentamicin can result in serious and permanent personal injuries if not properly monitored.
Some of the effects from an overdose of Gentamicin poisoning are:
- trouble keeping your balance
- injuries from falling
- difficulty in seeing faces or signs while walking down the street
- difficultly driving, especially at night
- trouble with concentration or memory
Gentamicin-induced ototoxicity or vestibulotoxicity, more commonly known as gentamicin poisoning is very serious and preventable. Gentamicin is an effective treatment, but only when properly administered and monitored by a medical professional.
