DESCRIPTION
Gentamicin Sulfate Ointment is a wide spectrum antibiotic preparation
for topical administration. Each
gram contains 1.0 mg of Gentamicin in a base of White Petrolatum with
Methylparaben and
Propylparaben as preservatives.
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 Ointment 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 Ointment usually clears the
lesions promptly. In secondary infections, Gentamicin Sulfate Ointment
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

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
