Pharmacological action

Akriderm GENTA is a combined drug for external use that has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and antibacterial effects.

Betamethasone dipropionate is a glucocorticosteroid that has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic, anti-exudative, anti-edematous and antipruritic effects. It inhibits the accumulation of white blood cells, the release of lysosomal enzymes and pro-inflammatory mediators in the inflammatory focus, inhibits phagocytosis, reduces vascular-tissue permeability, and prevents the formation of inflammatory edema.

Gentamicin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic from the group of aminoglycosides. It has a bactericidal effect against pathogens of primary and secondary bacterial skin infections.

Active against gram-negative bacteria: Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Aerobacter aerogenes, Escherichia coli, Proteus vulgaris, Klebsiella pneumoniae; gram-positive bacteria: Streptococcus spp. (sensitive strains of beta-and alpha-hemolytic streptococcus group A), Staphytococcus spp. (coagulase-positive, coagulase-negative, and some penicillinase-producing strains). Inactive against anaerobes, fungi and viruses.

If a long course of therapy is necessary, it is recommended to use the drug less often, for example, every other day.

When treating chronic diseases under the constant supervision of a doctor, treatment should be continued for some time after all symptoms disappear, in order to avoid relapse of the disease.

The use of the drug in children under 12 years of age is carried out under the supervision of the attending physician.

Overdose

Treatment. Appropriate symptomatic treatment is indicated. In case of chronic toxic effects, gradual discontinuation of the drug is recommended.

Special instructions

The drug is not used in ophthalmology. Avoid contact with eyes, damaged skin, and open wound areas. In order to increase the effectiveness of therapy, it is possible to use occlusive dressings.

It should be taken into account that this increases the transdermal absorption of betamethasone and gentamicin, which leads to an increased risk of systemic side effects. If a stable bacterial or fungal microflora appears, the drug should be discontinued and appropriate therapy should be prescribed. it is possible to develop cross-resistance with aminoglycoside antibiotics.
