1. What OFTALMOLOSA CUSÍ GENTAMICINA is and what it is used for

OFTALMOLOSA CUSÍ GENTAMICINA is an eye ointment that contains an antibiotic from the aminoglycoside group, gentamicin, which acts against microorganisms that cause eye infections.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections.

It is essential to follow the instructions regarding dosage, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medication. If you have any leftover antibiotic after completing the treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw away medications down the drain or in the trash.

This medication is used to treat external bacterial eye infections caused by gentamicin-sensitive germs, such as conjunctivitis, keratitis (corneal inflammation), corneal ulcers, blepharitis (eyelid inflammation), and dacryocystitis (inflammation of the lacrimal sac).
