Neomycin carries boxed warnings for neurotoxicity (nerve damage), ototoxicity (hearing loss), and nephrotoxicity (kidney damage), especially in patients with impaired kidney function, high doses, or prolonged use. Avoid using Neomycin with other nephrotoxic agents or diuretics like ethacrynic acid or furosemide. Boxed warnings are the FDA’s strongest warnings and highlight the need for careful monitoring to prevent severe adverse effects.
