An in most cases mildly elevated serum gentamicin concentration was found in the pre-dose sample in 7 of 1,288 treatment episodes. Routine measurement of serum gentamicin via a pre-dose sample should in future be reserved for children receiving long-term gentamicin treatment, those with impaired kidney function, or those who are also receiving nephro- or ototoxic drugs.
