Medicinal Benefits

Collamycin Gel treats various bacterial skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin), infected skin cysts, and insect bites. Collamycin Gel consists of Gentamicin (antibiotic). It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Collamycin Gel is also used for treating wet, oozing primary infections and greasy, secondary infections, such as pustular acne or infected seborrheic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin mainly on the scalp).

About Collamycin Gel

Collamycin Gel is a dermatological antibiotic medication that treats primary and secondary bacterial skin infections. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or the skin breaks and infect the skin. Symptoms include redness, pain, and tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching.

Collamycin Gel is composed of Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. 

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Collamycin Gel is for topical (skin) use only. Common side effects of Collamycin Gel include skin irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you are allergic to Collamycin Gel or any other medications. Do not use Collamycin Gel on large skin areas, open wounds, blisters and lesions. Please do not cover the affected areas with a dressing or bandage unless advised by a doctor. If Collamycin Gel gets into your eyes, nose or mouth, rinse with cold water. Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers should consult the doctor before starting this medication. Collamycin Gel should be used in infants over one year of age only when prescribed by a doctor.
