• Pharmacologic Classification: Aminoglycoside.
• IV or IM treatment of serious infections. Acts by inhibiting protein synthesis in bacteria.
• Excretion is mainly renal (>90%) and minimal amounts are metabolized by the liver, making it very toxic to the kidneys when in high toxic levels.
• Half-life increases with renal impairment. (dosage adjustment is necessary with any kind of renal impairment).
• Assessment includes continuously monitoring I&O and daily weight to assess hydration status and renal function.
• Monitor renal function by UA, SG, BUN, and Creatinine.

I like Potassium (K+)! It is a dangerous electrolyte when out of normal range; yet it is essential for life, which makes it quite important and special.

I don’t like Magnesium (Mg+) because I can’t remember the values and what it does. Maybe the more I dislike it the more I will have to remember it.
