Sparhawk Laboratories, Inc.
GENTAMICIN SULFATE
GENTAMICIN 100 mg in 1 mL
INTRAUTERINE
PRESCRIPTION
Gentamicin Sulfate Solution is recommended for the control of bacterial infections of the uterus (metritis) in horses and as an aid in improving conception in mares with uterine infections caused by bacteria sensitive to gentamicin. Bacteriologic studies should be conducted to identify the causative organism and to determine its sensitivity to gentamicin sulfate. Sensitivity discs of the drug are available for this purpose. There are no known contraindications to this drug when used as directed.
Gentamicin Sulfate Solution, 100 mg per mL for intrauterine use, is available in 100 mL and 250 mL multiple dose vials.

DESCRIPTION For intra-uterine use in horses only. Each mL contains: Gentamicin sulfate veterinary equivalent to 100 mg gentamicin base; 2.4 mg sodium metabisulfite; 0.8 mg sodium sulfite, anhydrous; 0.1 mg edetate disodium; 10 mg benzyl alcohol as preservative; water for injection q.s. Store between 2o and 30oC (36o and 86oF). Protect from freezing. TAKE TIME OBSERVE LABEL DIRECTIONS CHEMISTRY: GENTAMICIN IS A MIXTURE OF AMINGLYCOSIDE ANTIBIOTICS DERIVED FROM THE FERMENTATION OF_ MICROMONOSPORA PURPUREA_. GENTAMICIN SULFATE IS A MIXTURE OF SULFATE SALTS OF THE ANTIBIOTICS PRODUCED IN THIS FERMENTATION. THE SALTS ARE WEAKLY ACIDIC, FREELY SOLUBLE IN WATER, AND STABLE IN SOLUTION. ANTIBACTERIAL ACTIVITY:_ In Vitro_ antibacterial activity has shown that gentamicin is active against most gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria isolated from domestic animals. Gentamicin is active against _Pseudomonas aeruginosa_, indole-positive and - negative_ Proteus_ species, _Escherichia coli_,_ Klebsiella_ species, _Enterobacter _species, _Alcaligenes _species, _Staphylococcus _species, and _Streptococcus _species. PHARMACOLOGY: Studies in man indicate that recommended doses of gentamicin produce serum concentrations bactericidal for most bacteria sensitive to gentamicin within an hour after intramuscular injection; these concentrations last for 6 to 12 hours. Some 30% of the administered dose of gentamicin is bound by serum proteins and released as the drug is excreted. Gentamicin is excreted almost entirely by glomerular filtration. High concentrations of the active form are found in the urine. Fifty to 100% of the gentamicin injected can be recovered unchanged within 24 hours from the urine of patients with normal renal function. A small amount is excreted into the read_full_document
