Gentamicin Does Not Chelate Calcium

PMCID: PMC181964  PMID: 7081982

Abstract

The influence of increasing gentamicin concentrations on ionized calcium concentration was determined in pH-controlled, phosphate-buffered saline and normal human serum with an ion-specific calcium electrode. No evidence of calcium chelation was found.
