Has anyone taken gentomicin?

Oh, I think this needs to be discussed with your pulmonologist. It is important to know the formulation of the gentamicin, what other drugs you are using, and whether you also use a saline neb, as well as other details about your lungs and general health. That is beyond our capability here. Gentamicin is a relative of Arikayce (inhaled Amikacin) and Tobramicin but I would not assume that the process would be identical.

Tks Sue. Dr McShane, currently practicing and researching in Tyler TX, is the doctor who is treating my various bacteria. She knocked MAC out of my sputum samples and now that my many pseudomonas colonies are causing problems she has prescribed gentomicin. She is a pulmonologist.
