Garamycin Cream, Ointment

GARAMYCIN^®
Cream and Ointment
Gentamicin Sulfate
Schering-Plough

COMPOSITION
Each gram contains gentamicin sulfate equivalent to 1 mg (0.1%) gentamicin base.

DESCRIPTION
Gentamicin is an aminolglycoside antibiotic with bactericidal properties, particularly against sensitive gram-negative aerobic bacilli, sensitive gram-positive only Staphylococcus aureus.

INDICATIONS
For the topical treatment of both primary and secondary skin infections due to susceptible bacteria to gentamicin.
Not to be used for the prevention, because the bacterial causal is unknown.

DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION
A thin film should be applied to cover completely the affected area three or four times daily until favorable results are achieved. The affected area may be covered with a gauze dressing.
Crusts should be removed before application.
Infected stasis ulcers have responded well to GARAMYCIN Cream and Ointment under gelatin packing.
Concomitant treatment of the skin around the ulcer with a topical corticosteroid helps to control inflammation.

PRECAUTIONS
Discontinue treatment if irritation or sensitization develops.
Overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms may occur; should super-infection develop, discontinue treatment and initiate appropriate therapy.
Systemic absorption of topically applied gentamicin may be increased if extensive body surface areas are treated, especially over prolonged time periods or in the presence of dermal disruption. In these cases, the undesirable effects which occur following systemic use of gentamicin may potentially occur. Cautious use is recommended under these conditions, particularly in infants and children.
Not for ophthalmic use.

OVERDOSAGE
Symptoms:
Excessive prolonged use of topical gentamicin may lead to overgrowth of lesions by fungi or non-susceptible bacteria.
Treatment:
Appropriate anti-fungal or antibacterial therapy is indicated if overgrowth occurs.

ADVERSE REACTIONS
Topical use of gentamicin has produced transient irritation (erythema and pruritus).
Possible photo-sensitization has been reported in several patients but could not be elicited in these patients by reapplication of gentamicin followed by exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

CONTRAINDICATIONS
Sensitivity to any ingredient. Infections caused by virus and fungi.
