Gent-B Cream

Cream

Bacterial skin infections with inflammation; infected eczema/dermatitis, impetiginized lesions, infected insect bites, minor infected rashes as advised by doctor

Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that kills susceptible bacteria by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. Beclomethasone is a corticosteroid that reduces redness, swelling and itching by suppressing inflammatory mediators in the skin.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 1–2 times daily or as prescribed. Use for the shortest duration needed; avoid covering with tight occlusive dressings unless advised. Wash hands after application and avoid contact with eyes, mouth and genital areas.

Burning/stinging, itching, redness, dryness, irritation, skin thinning (atrophy), striae, acneiform eruptions, folliculitis, hypopigmentation

Do not use on viral or fungal skin infections (e.g., herpes, chickenpox, ringworm) unless prescribed with appropriate therapy. Avoid use on large areas, broken skin, under diapers/occlusion, or for prolonged periods due to risk of steroid side effects and antibiotic resistance. Use caution in children and on face/groin/armpits. Stop and consult a doctor if worsening, no improvement in 3–5 days, or signs of allergy occur.

No major systemic interactions expected with topical use; increased risk of side effects with other topical corticosteroids or occlusive dressings. Avoid combining with other topical antibiotics/irritants on the same area unless advised.

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from heat and light. Keep the tube tightly closed and out of reach of children.
