Garamycin 80mg (2ml vial) generic injection contains Gentamicin as its active ingredient. This antibiotic is used to treat various infections, including:
- Septicemia ( blood infection)
- Meningitis
- Urinary tract infections
- Lung infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia
- Infections of the GI tract
- Skin infections and burns
- Bone and joint infections
- Endocarditis
As a broad-spectrum antibiotic, it can be challenging to identify the specific infections for which it is appropriate without consulting a medical professional. Additionally, some strains of bacteria may develop resistance to antibiotics, which can lead to situations where a higher dose of the same medication or an alternative treatment is necessary to address the same infection. Garamycin functions by disrupting the formation of bacterial cell walls.
You can get Gentamicin (80mg) Injection in Canada from online pharmacies based within the country.
