Drugfield Gentamicin Skin Ointment is a topical antibiotic preparation containing Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic that effectively treats various bacterial skin infections through direct application. This topical formulation delivers the active ingredient directly to the infection site while minimizing systemic absorption. Uses Drugfield Gentamicin Skin Ointment treats bacterial skin infections including impetigo, folliculitis, infected eczema, infected minor burns, infected cuts and abrasions, furuncles, and infected dermatitis. It’s also effective against specific bacteria such as Staphylococcus, Streptococcus, and certain gram-negative organisms. Benefits Targeted antimicrobial action against common skin pathogens Minimal systemic absorption reducing overall side effects Easy-to-apply ointment base for convenient application Provides both treatment and protection of affected skin Creates protective barrier against environmental contaminants Maintains skin moisture while delivering medication Effective for both acute and chronic skin infections Suitable for small wounds and localized infection areas How It Works Drugfield Gentamicin Skin Ointment works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Gentamicin binds to bacterial ribosomes, preventing the formation of proteins essential for bacterial survival and reproduction. This bactericidal action effectively eliminates susceptible bacteria from the application site. Duration of Action The ointment provides continuous antibiotic action during the period of application. Active ingredient remains effective on the skin for approximately 8-12 hours, creating a sustained antimicrobial environment that promotes healing. Dosage Condition Application Method Frequency Mild infections Thin layer 3-4 times daily Moderate infections Medium layer 3-4 times daily Wound infections Apply after cleaning 2-3 times daily Maintenance Thin layer 1-2 times daily Warnings This medication is for external use only. Avoid contact with eyes, ears, or mucous membranes. Prolonged use may lead to overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. Discontinue if rash or irritation develops. Not recommended for extensive burns or large skin areas due to potential systemic absorption. Side Effects Local irritation may occur including temporary redness, itching, or burning sensation. Hypersensitivity reactions such as contact dermatitis are possible with extended use. Prolonged use in children may require monitoring due to potential systemic absorption through damaged skin. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Use during pregnancy only when clearly needed and potential benefits outweigh risks. Limited studies exist on absorption through skin during pregnancy. Nursing mothers should exercise caution as aminoglycosides may be absorbed through damaged skin.
