NAME THAT DRUG! (From my favorite pharmacist)

Clue 1: I am available as an injectable product (IVPB), as

well as ophthalmic and inhaled preparations

Clue 2: Among my most famous adverse effects are

nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity / balance impairment

Clue 3: Although I do have good coverage for Pseudomonas, I am often given

as combination or initial empiric therapy and de-escalated due to adverse

effects and lower efficacy at many deeper sites of infection

Bonus point: what is my mechanism of action?
