In pharm, we spell it "gentamicin" and that is how is comes on the vials!!
We laugh when we get orders with it written the other way.....
Trust me, you will def know when you start drawing levels....
He probably won't have to mess with gent levels. At least that's how it is in CA. Seems like every patient gets stuck on an aminoglycoside or Vanco, and then the MDs just write "Per Pharmacy Protocol". *stabs self* Oh well... can't wait til I get to do that too.
And gentamycin/gentamicin... same thing. Just don't be one of those doctors that prescribes Mucomyst instead of Mucinex.
