Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Gentamicin sulfate Drug: Gentamicin Sulfate
Gentamicin will be compounded by the Michigan Medicine Research Pharmacy in a concentration of 480 milligrams of the active product to 1000 milliliters of normal saline. Participants will do daily instillations of 30 milliliters of solution


Outcome Measures

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Documented or self-reported history of gentamicin allergy
  • Female patients who are currently pregnant or attempting to become pregnant
  • Patients with a history of 8th cranial nerve disorder
  • Co-morbidities like cancer and chronic disease that could impact patient safety OR significantly affect the rate of UTIs and/or quality of life (QOL) substantially
  • Urological co-morbidities like bladder cancer and history of kidney disease.
  • Current UTI at baseline visit (assessed via urine analysis and culture and symptoms)
  • Concurrent enrollment in a similar clinical trial
  • Concurrent use of contraindicated diuretics (ethacrynic acid, furosemide)
