Netilmicin should be stored at room temperature, away from light and moisture. It should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
The dosage of netilmicin will depend on the severity of your infection, your age, weight, and kidney function.

Your doctor will determine the appropriate dosage and duration of treatment.
Common side effects of netilmicin include:
Nausea
Vomiting
Diarrhea

It's generally advised to avoid alcohol while taking netilmicin, as it can potentially increase the risk of side effects.
Netilmicin may cause dizziness or drowsiness, so it's best to avoid driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Netilmicin should only be used during pregnancy if the potential benefits outweigh the risks to the fetus. Consult your doctor for personalized advice. It can pass into breast milk, and your doctor will weigh the risks and benefits of breastfeeding while on netilmicin.
