Cautions:

  • increase dose interval in renal impairment. In severe impairment the dose itself should also be reduced
  • check drug interactions - see current issue BNF

Contra-indications:

  • pregnancy - possible toxicity to eighth-nerve development of the fetus
  • myasthenia Gravis - aminoglycosides may impair neuromuscular transmission and indeed large doses given during surgery may be responsible for a transient myasthenic syndrome
