Gentamicin 0.4 mg/0.2 Gm/Betamethasone 0.2 mg/0.2 Gm Topical Gel (Vet) is a specially compounded topical gel formulation, specifically designed for veterinary use. This unique formulation combines the antibiotic properties of gentamicin and the anti-inflammatory benefits of betamethasone to effectively treat a wide range of skin conditions in animals.

This combination of active ingredients works synergistically to reduce the severity of skin conditions and accelerate the healing process.

This topical gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin. The gel-like consistency allows for targeted treatment, ensuring that the active ingredients are absorbed directly into the affected area. This formulation is suitable for treating a variety of skin conditions, including dermatitis, pyoderma, otitis, wounds, and interdigital cysts.

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This compounded formulation of Gentamicin 0.4 mg/0.2 Gm and Betamethasone 0.2 mg/0.2 Gm in a topical gel form is specifically designed for veterinary use. It is primarily indicated for the treatment of various skin conditions in animals, including dermatitis, pyoderma, otitis, wounds, and interdigital cysts.

Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, effectively combating the bacterial infections often associated with these conditions. Betamethasone, a corticosteroid, works in tandem with Gentamicin by reducing inflammation, thereby providing relief from the symptoms of these conditions.

The gel is dispensed through a pump mechanism, which allows for easy and precise application on the skin. It is recommended to apply the gel to the affected area twice daily, or as directed by a veterinarian. The gel should be applied in a thin layer and gently rubbed into the skin until it is completely absorbed. It is important to avoid applying the gel to broken or irritated skin, and to prevent contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth.

While this formulation is generally well-tolerated, it is important to note that both Gentamicin and Betamethasone can cause local irritation and sensitization. If any signs of irritation or sensitization occur, it is recommended to discontinue use of the gel and contact a veterinarian. Additionally, Gentamicin has the potential to cause nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity, so patients should be closely monitored for signs of these adverse effects.

If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation or its use, please do not hesitate to reach out for further information.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
