2,5 -- Aminoglycosides are nephrotoxic. A sudden weight gain indicates there may be kidney damage and should be immediately reported; aminoglycosides are also ototoxic, especially if they are combined with other drugs that can cause ototoxicity such as furosemide and ethacrynic acid. A history of allergy to penicillin would apply to cephalosporins. A patient on fluoroquinoloines or sulfonamides must maintain a fluid intake of 2000 to 3000 mL/day.
