Overview Gentamycin Sulphate Ointment

Topical gentamicin sulfate ointment is an antibacterial medication indicated for the treatment of superficial skin infections, such as folliculitis. It's also effective against infected abrasions and wounds. This antibiotic inhibits bacterial growth, facilitating symptom relief and infection resolution. Gentamicin sulfate ointment is for external application only, strictly confined to the affected skin area according to your physician's prescribed dosage and frequency.
