CLINICAL PARTICULARS
4.1 THERAPEUTIC INDICATIONS
For the treatment of infections due to one or more susceptible strains
of bacteria, including
_Pseudomonas aeruginosa_, Proteus species (indole positive and indole
negative), _Escherichia_
_coli_, Klebsiella, Enterobacter and Serratia species and
Staphylococcus (including strains
resistant to other antibiotics).
Gentamicin may also be used for the treatment of the following
conditions when caused by
susceptible organisms: bacteraemia, respiratory tract infections,
urinary tract infections, skin
and skin structure infections, bone infections, peritonitis, septic
abortion and burns complicated
by
sepsis.
Aminoglycosides,
including
gentamicin
are
generally
not
indicated
in
uncomplicated initial episodes of urinary tract infection unless the
causative organisms are not
susceptible to less toxic antibiotics.
In suspected or documented Gram-negative sepsis, gentamicin should be
considered for initial
antimicrobial therapy. Therapy may be instituted before obtaining
results of susceptibility
tests. The decision to continue therapy is based on results of the
susceptibility tests, the severity
of the infection and risk of toxicity. If anaerobic organisms are
suspected, antimicrobial
therapy in addition to the gentamicin regimen should be considered.
4.2 DOSE AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
EACH AMPOULE IS FOR USE IN A SINGLE PATIENT ON ONE OCCASION ONLY
Gentamicin is normally given by intramuscular injection. Intravenous
administration may be
used for particular indications when the intramuscular route is not
appropriate. The dosage is
