Product Details
- Name: Gentamicin (Gentamicin Sulfate 0.1%)
- How It Works: As an aminoglycoside antibiotic, it kills bacteria by stopping them from synthesizing essential proteins they need to survive and multiply.
- Form: Cream (primarily for wet, oozing skin infections; an ointment form is also available for dry infections).
- Warning:
- This is a prescription-only medication and should not be used without a doctor’s direction.
- For external use only; avoid contact with eyes, nose, or mouth.
- Complete the full course of treatment, even if the skin looks better, to prevent the infection from returning and becoming harder to treat (antibiotic resistance).
- Stop use immediately and contact a doctor if signs of a new skin infection, warmth, swelling, or a severe allergic reaction (rash, hives, difficulty breathing) occur.
- Do not apply over large body areas for prolonged periods due to the potential for systemic absorption and rare but serious side effects.
