4.4 Special Warnings and Precautions for Use
Increased mortality was observed, in neonates/infants (aged up to 1 year) who received gentamicin solution for injection intraventricularly.
Gentamicin should be used with caution in the elderly, those with a history of, or existent ear disease, or those previously on aminoglycosides.
Ototoxicity (including irreversible hearing loss) has been reported following the use of aminoglycosides, including gentamicin.
Important risk factors include renal impairment, high doses, prolonged duration of treatment and age (neonate/infant, elderly).
Due to the potential for ototoxicity, monitoring of vestibule and cochlea function is recommended before, during and shortly after treatment (see section 4.8).
Groups at special risk include patients with impaired renal function, infants and possibly the elderly. . To avoid adverse events, continuous monitoring (before, during and after) of renal function (serum creatinin, creatinin clearance), control of function of vestibule and cochlea as well as hepatic and laboratory parameters is recommended
