If you have peritonitis (an infection in your peritoneum), your renal team may tell you to take an antibiotic, such as gentamicin or tobramycin. This pamphlet explains some of the possible side effects of gentamicin and tobramycin, how to give yourself these drugs, and how to store these drugs. What to do if you have questions and a list of things to remember are also provided.
