Hoe Gentamicin Cream 15g

HOE Gentamicin Cream is a topical antibiotic, with gentamicin sulphate as its active ingredient, belonging to the aminoglycoside class of antibiotics. If you're using this for the first time, you're probably wondering how it fits into treating a skin infection — it's applied to clean, dry skin, generally three to four times daily, and gently massaging it in helps the cream absorb properly into the affected area. Some people experience mild effects such as skin redness or a burning, irritated sensation at the application site, particularly on sensitive skin. It's meant for external use only, and completing the full prescribed course really matters, since stopping too early can allow the infection to return even if your skin looks better. Because gentamicin belongs to a class of antibiotics associated with potential effects on hearing and kidney function when absorbed systemically in larger amounts, it's worth having a quick chat with your doctor or pharmacist about the extent and duration of use, especially if you're pregnant, as this medication is generally not considered safe during pregnancy.

Apply the cream to the affected area 3 to 4 times daily, or as directed by your doctor, continuing for the full duration of treatment prescribed. Do not apply more often or in larger amounts than directed, as this won't speed up healing and may increase the risk of side effects.

• Skin redness
• Burning or irritation of the skin
• Itching
• Allergic rash
• Abdominal pain (uncommon)
• Nausea or vomiting (uncommon)
• Tiredness (uncommon)
• Confusion (rare, generally associated with more significant systemic absorption)
• Ear-related toxicity, such as ringing in the ears or hearing changes (rare, generally associated with more significant systemic absorption)
• Severe allergic reactions, such as swelling of the throat, face, eyelids, or lips, with fever (rare, seek immediate medical attention)

Store the cream at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture, with the cap tightly closed after each use. Keep out of reach of children.

• Apply to clean, dry skin, and massage in gently
• Wash your hands before and after each application
• Complete the full prescribed course, even if your skin improves early
• Do not use more often or in larger amounts than directed
• Check the expiry date before use
• Store at room temperature, away from heat and moisture
• Keep out of reach of children
• Consult a doctor if your skin infection doesn't improve or appears to worsen

HOE Gentamicin Cream is for external use only and should be applied to clean, dry, and intact skin. Massage gently into the affected areas to help the cream absorb, and always wash your hands both before and after use, replacing the cap tightly afterward.

HOE Gentamicin Cream generally has a shelf life of around 2–3 years from the date of manufacture when stored correctly and unopened. Always check the expiry date printed on the tube before use.

• Gentamicin Sulphate – a wide-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic for topical treatment of bacterial skin infections

• Known hypersensitivity to gentamicin, other aminoglycoside antibiotics (such as neomycin, tobramycin, or streptomycin), or any other ingredient in the formulation
• Use during pregnancy is generally not considered safe, given evidence of potential risk to the developing baby
• Not intended for use on large areas of broken or severely damaged skin, given increased systemic absorption in these circumstances
• Not effective against viral or fungal skin infections, as this product treats bacterial infections only
• Caution advised in patients with existing kidney impairment, given the aminoglycoside class's association with kidney effects when absorbed systemically

As this is a topical cream intended for localised use, significant systemic drug interactions are uncommon when applied correctly to limited areas of intact skin, and it is generally considered safe to consume alcohol alongside this product. It's still good practice to inform your doctor or pharmacist about any other topical treatments or medications you're using, particularly other antibiotics, to avoid combined irritation or resistance development.
