How Genticyn Cream works

Gentamicin enters bacteria and binds to the machinery they use to make proteins. The bacteria then produce faulty proteins and die. It is particularly active against many gram-negative bacteria, which is why it is valued for severe infections treated in hospital.

• Itching, redness or burning where it is applied

See a doctor if the infection spreads, does not improve in a few days, or you get a fever.

• Use it for the time advised, usually 7 to 10 days.
• Do not use it for long periods, to avoid resistant bacteria.
