This quiz explores aminoglycosides, focusing on clinical scenarios, drug toxicity, and treatment options. It assesses understanding of drug interactions, side effects, and appropriate use in different patient conditions like diabetes and pregnancy.
Gentamicin and tobramycin are the least likely to cause renal damage
Ototoxicity due to amikacin and gentamicin includes vestibular dysfunction, which is often irreversible
Ototoxicity is reduced if loop diuretics are used to facilitate the renal excretion of aminoglycoside antibiotics
Reduced blood creatinine is an early sign of aminoglycoside nephrotoxicity
Skin reactions are very rare following topical use of neomycin
