Active Ingredients
Gentamicin, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, is a highly effective topical treatment for bacterial infections of the skin. Gentamicin is a mixture of aminoglycoside antibiotics derived from the fermentation of Micromonospora purpurea. In vitro, gentamicin is bactericidal against a wide variety of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria isolated from domestic animals.
Specifically, gentamicin is active against the following organisms isolated from canine skin: Alcaligenes sp., Citrobacter sp., Klebsiella sp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, indole-positive and negative Proteus sp., Escherichia coli, Enterobacter sp., Staphylococcus sp., and Streptococcus sp.
The second active ingredient, betamethasone valerate is a synthetic glucocorticoid, and has been shown to provide anti-inflammatory and antipruritic activity in the topical management of canine skin lesions.
