CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Gentamicin sulfate is a wide spectrum antibiotic that provides highly
effective topical treatment in
primary and secondary bacterial infections of the skin. Gentamicin
Sulfate Cream may clear infections
that have not responded to treatment with other topical antibiotic
agents. In primary skin infections such
as impetigo contagiosa, treatment 3 or 4 times daily with Gentamicin
Sulfate Cream usually clears the
lesions promptly. In secondary skin infections, Gentamicin Sulfate
Cream aids in the treatment of the
underlying dermatoses by controlling the infection. Bacteria
susceptible to the action of gentamicin
sulfate include sensitive strains of Streptococci (group A
beta-hemolytic, alpha-hemolytic),
Staphylococcus aureus (coagulase positive, coagulase negative, and
some penicillinase-producing
strains), and the gram-negative bacteria, Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia
coli, Proteus vulgaris, and Kiebsiella pneumoniae.
INDICATIONS AND USAGE
Primary skin infections: Impetigo contagiosa, superficial
folliculitis, ecthyma, furunculosis, sycosis
barbae, and pyoderma gangrenosum. Secondary skin infections:
Infectious eczematoid dermatitis,
pustular acne, pustular psoriasis, infected seborrheic dermatitis,
infected contact dermatitis (including
poison ivy), infected excoriations, and bacterial super-infections of
fungal or viral infections. Please
