GentaVed Topical Spray - Vedco is used for the treatment of infected superficial skin lesions in dogs caused by bacteria sensitive to gentamicin. GentaVed Spray provides antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity to irritated and infected skin lesions.
Gentamicin, a broad-spectrum aminoglycoside antibiotic, is a highly effective topical treatment for gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial infections of the skin. 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.
Betamethasone valerate provides anti-inflammatory and antipruritic activity in the topical management of corticosteroid responsive infected superficial lesions in dogs.
Ingredients:
Each mL contains: gentamicin sulfate equivalent to 0.57 mg gentamicin base, betamethasone valerate equivalent to 0.284 mg betamethasone.
Dosage and Administration: Prior to treatment, remove excessive hair and clean the lesion and adjacent area. Hold bottle upright 3 to 6 inches from the lesion and depress the sprayer head twice. Administer 2 to 4 times daily for 7 days.
