1. What GENTAMICINA EG is and what it is used for

Gentamicina EG contains the active ingredient gentamicin sulfate, which belongs to a group of medicines
called antibiotics active against many microorganisms called bacteria (broad-spectrum activity).
Gentamicina EG acts locally (topically), is effective in skin infections and is indicated:

• in inflammatory forms of the skin, caused by bacteria, such as:
• pyodermas, characterized by skin inflammation of varying severity and extent, including ecthyma, characterized by blisters, vesicles and pustules that, when ruptured, lead to a lesion that heals with difficulty;
• folliculitis, skin inflammations in which hair grows;
• sycosis, characterized by inflammation of the hairy parts;
• furunculosis;
• microbial eczema, characterized by itchy skin inflammation caused by microorganisms.
• in inflammatory forms in which bacterial infection occurs at a later stage compared to the manifestation of the skin disease (secondary infections) such as:
• dermatitis, characterized by skin inflammation;
• impetiginized eczema, characterized by vesicle-pustular lesions;
• stasis ulcers, skin lesions that are difficult to heal caused by impaired blood circulation;
• traumatic lesions;
• burns (ustions) of varying degree and extent in which the development of particularly aggressive bacteria can be facilitated on the burned skin;
• infected abrasions.
• in other skin infections such as:
• acne;
• pustular psoriasis, characterized by non-contagious skin inflammation with the formation of small yellow blisters filled with serum;
• intertriginous forms characterized by redness, scaling, irritation and itching due to the rubbing of two close parts of the body;
• perionychia, bacterial inflammation of the skin edge near the nail.

Gentamicina EG is particularly indicated in forms that have appeared recently (acute) accompanied
by the presence of inflammatory fluid (in the exudative phase).
In skin diseases caused by fungi, Gentamicina EG for local (topical) use is not effective, as
gentamicin is not active on any type of fungus. The medicine can be used in bacterial infections
that develop where fungal and other microorganisms called viruses already exist
(bacterial superinfections).

Stop treatment and inform your doctor if you experience irritation or an allergic reaction
(sensitization) following use of this medicine, especially for prolonged periods. It may occur,

microorganisms develop; in this case your doctor will advise you to stop treatment and prescribe
suitable therapy.

Avoid the simultaneous and/or sequential use of other drugs that cause kidney toxicity (nephrotoxic) and/or
brain toxicity (neurotoxic) systemically or topically.
The systemic absorption (into the bloodstream) of topical gentamicin increases when treating large areas of
the body, especially in the presence of skin damage or in case of long-term treatments. In this
case, undesirable effects that are evident with systemic use of gentamicin may occur. Keep this in
mind especially in the case of treatment of infants or children.
