The medication is administered intravenously or intramuscularly, as directed by a doctor. It is important for patients to complete the treatment duration to prevent the development of bacterial resistance.

Patients should be aware of potential side effects, such as renal toxicity, ototoxicity, or allergic reactions. It is important to inform the doctor of any unusual symptoms.

Common side effects include renal toxicity and ototoxicity. In rare cases, severe reactions such as kidney failure or hearing loss may occur. Patients should be informed of these risks before use.
