1. What Gentamicina Idi is and what it is used for

Gentamicina Idi contains the active ingredient gentamicin sulfate, which belongs to a group of medicines
called antibiotics active against many microorganisms called bacteria (broad-spectrum activity) and belongs
to the group of antibiotics and chemotherapeutic drugs for dermatological use.
Gentamicina Idi 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 inflammations of varying severity and extent, including ecthyma, characterized by blisters, vesicles and pustules that, when broken, give rise to a lesion that heals with difficulty;
• folliculitis, skin inflammations in which hair grows;
• sycosis, characterized by inflammation of the hairy parts;
• furunculosis;
• microbial eczemas, characterized by itchy skin inflammations caused by microbes.
• in inflammatory forms in which bacterial infection occurs at a later stage than the manifestation of the skin disease (secondary infections) such as:
• dermatitis, characterized by skin inflammations;
• impetiginized eczemas, characterized by vesicle-pustular lesions;
• stasis ulcers, skin lesions that are difficult to heal caused by impaired blood circulation;
• traumatic lesions;
• burns of varying degree and extent in which bacteria, particularly aggressive ones, can easily develop 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 rubbing of two close parts of the body;
• perionychia, bacterial inflammation of the skin border near the nail.

Gentamicina Idi 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 Idi 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).
Particular efficacy has been demonstrated by the preparation in burns of varying degree and extent, in which the
"death of the ground", implemented by the exceptional intensity of the thermal insult, favors the development of
a particularly virulent bacterial flora.

2. What you need to know before using Gentamicina Idi

Warnings and precautions

Do not use this medicine in the eyes.
Stop treatment and inform your doctor if you experience irritation or an allergic reaction
(sensitization) following the use of this medicine, especially for prolonged periods.
Prolonged and excessive use of gentamicina, as well as other antibiotics, may lead to the development of resistant microorganisms; in this case, your doctor will advise you to discontinue treatment and
prescribe appropriate therapy. Use the medicine with caution and inform your doctor if you are allergic to other
antibiotics of the aminoglycoside group, as an allergic reaction (cross-hypersensitivity) may occur.
Avoid the simultaneous and/or sequential use of other drugs that cause kidney toxicity (nephrotoxic) and/or
brain toxicity (neurotoxic) systemically or topically.
Systemic absorption (into the bloodstream) of topical gentamicina 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 may occur that are evident with systemic use of gentamicina. Keep this in
mind especially in the case of treatment of infants or children.
