General Information:
AdvaCare is a GMP manufacturer of Gentamycin Eye Ear Drops.
Gentamycin Eye Ear Drops is an aqueous solution containing the active ingredient gentamycin, an antibiotic that kills infection-causing bacteria. The drops are used to manage infection in the eyes and ears. Gentamicin can be used to treat conjunctivitis, keratitis, keratoconjunctivitis, corneal ulcers, blepharitis and blepharoconjunctivitis, acute meibomianitis, episcleritis, and dacryocystitis. Gentamicin is also indicated for the treatment of otitis externa.

As with all pharmaceuticals, some unwanted effects can occur from the use of gentamycin eye ear drops. Always consult a doctor or health care professional for medical advice before use.
Common side effects include, but may not be limited to, local sensitivity, blurred vision, eye irritation, burning sensation, stinging in the eye, itching, difficulty keeping balance, ototoxicity, vestibular disorder, hearing loss, skin and subcutaneous disorders, dermatitis, renal and urinary disorders, and nephrotoxicity.

Additional Information
Always consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking gentamycin eye ear drops.
Never use this medication for a longer period of time than you have been instructed to by your doctor or in smaller/larger doses.
You may drive or operate machinery while using gentamycin eye ear drops as long as the vision is clear.
Indications and Usage
Gentamycin eye ear drops are indicated in adults and children for both the treatment of superficial eye and ear infections caused by organisms sensitive to gentamycin and for prophylaxis against infection in the trauma of the eye or ear.
Precautions
Do not use gentamycin eye ear drops if:
- You are allergic to gentamycin or other ingredients;
- You have a perforated eardrum;
- You are wearing contact lenses;
- You suffer from myasthenia gravis or a related condition.
Use gentamycin eye ear drops during pregnancy or breastfeeding only if it is deemed essential by your doctor. Consult your doctor or healthcare professional before using gentamycin eye ear drops.
Administration and Dosage
Refer to your doctor or pharmacist for guidelines on dosage. Do not exceed what they advise. The usual dose is 1-2 drops in the eye every four hours, or 2-4 drops in the ear 3-4 times daily.
Potential interactions include cephalosporins, amphotericin, cisplatin, cyclosporine, diuretic medicines, and curare-type muscle relaxants. Consult your doctor about any medications you are taking before you begin treatment with gentamycin eye ear drops.
Interactions
Potent diuretics such as ethacrynic acid and furosemide are believed to enhance risks of ototoxicity. Drugs like amphotericin B, cisplatin, cyclosporine, and cephalosporins are potential enhancers of nephrotoxicity.
Using nephrotoxic or ototoxic drugs at the same time as gentamycin should be avoided unless suggested by your doctor, pharmacist, or health care specialist.
Neuromuscular blockade and respiratory paralysis have been reported in patients from the administration of aminoglycosides, and in patients who have received muscle relaxants during anesthesia.
Overdose
If you accidentally exceed your dose, tell your doctor, pharmacist, or healthcare specialist to avoid undesired effects. However, the oral ingestion of the contents of one bottle is unlikely to cause any significant adverse reactions.
Adverse Reactions
Long-term treatment should be avoided as it may lead to skin sensitization and the emergence of resistant organisms. Cross-sensitivity with other aminoglycoside antibiotics may occur.
For more serious infections, the use of gentamycin should be supplemented with appropriate systemic antibiotic treatment.
If given systemically or applied topically to open wounds or damaged skin gentamicin may cause irreversible partial or total deafness. This effect is dose-related and is enhanced by renal and/or hepatic problems.
The direct contact of gentamycin with the middle and inner ear could cause irreversible toxic effects. Seek emergency medical attention if you find yourself in this kind of situation.
Serious adverse reactions including neurotoxicity, ototoxicity, and nephrotoxicity have occurred in patients receiving systemic gentamycin therapy. Caution is always suggested if using systemic aminoglycosides at the same time.
