“What is intravesical gentamicin and what it is used for?
Gentamicin is an antibiotic used to treat infections such as urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused
by bacteria. ‘Intravesical’ means the antibiotic is given directly into the bladder (through a thin
tube called a catheter) as a liquid, rather than as a tablet or intravenously (straight into your
blood) via a drip.” https://www.royalberkshire.nhs.uk/leaflets/intravesical-gentamicin-treatment-for-urinary-tract-infections-utis
