Composition

• Active Ingredient: Gentamicin Sulfate 0.30% w/w

• Dosage Form: Topical cream

Therapeutic Class

• Topical antibiotic

• Aminoglycoside antibiotic

Indications

Gentosep Cream is indicated for the treatment of:

• Primary skin infections such as impetigo and folliculitis

• Secondary bacterial infections of eczema, dermatitis, and minor skin injuries

• Infected cuts, wounds, abrasions, and burns

• Infected ulcers and surgical wound sites

It is effective against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria sensitive to gentamicin.

Mechanism of Action

Gentamicin works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It binds to the 30S subunit of bacterial ribosomes, leading to the production of defective proteins and ultimately causing bacterial cell death. When applied topically, Gentosep Cream delivers the antibiotic directly to the infected area, achieving high local concentrations with minimal systemic absorption. This targeted action helps control infection while reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

Dosage and Administration

• Apply a thin layer of Gentosep Cream to the affected area 2 to 3 times daily or as directed by a healthcare professional.

• The affected area should be cleaned and dried before application.

• Treatment duration depends on the severity of the infection and clinical response.

• Avoid contact with eyes, mouth, and mucous membranes.

Use should be limited to the prescribed duration to minimize the risk of bacterial resistance.
