Drugs.com has a spray for animals called "Betagen", which can be used for skin treatment.
Each mL has gentamicin sulfate equivalent to 0.57 percent, betamethasone valerateequivalent to 0.284 percent and isopropyl alcohol, methylparaben and propylparaben as preservatives.Adding hydrochloric acid may change the pH.
The mixture of antibiotics is called gentamicin.The mixture of sulfate salts is called gentamicin sulfate.The salts can be found in water.
A broad-spectrum antibiotic, gentamicin, is a highly effective treatment for infections of the skin.Gram-positive and gram-negativebacteria isolated from domestic animals are bactericidal against gentamicin.There are a number of organisms isolated from canine skin that are active against gentamicin.
The most promising of 50 newly synthesised steroids in the experimental model described by McKenzie3 and his colleagues was blemethasone valerate.The human bioassay technique can be used to evaluate the vasoconstrictor properties of new drugs and is useful in predicting clinical efficacy.
The anti- inflammatory and antipruritic activity of blemethasone valerate has been shown to be helpful in the management of superficial infections in dogs.
Studies have shown that the first stage of parturition can be caused by the use of corticosteroids during the last trimester of a pregnant woman's life.
Dogs, rabbits and rodents have had cleft palates as a result of being given corticosteroids during their pregnancies.The offspring of dogs who received corticosteroids during their pregnancies have congenital anomalies.
Infections in dogs caused bybacteria sensitive to gentamicin can be treated.
If hypersensitivity to any of the components occurs, treatment with this product should be discontinued and appropriate therapy instituted.
Before treatment, remove excessive hair and clean the area.Hold bottle upright and depress the sprayer head twice.For 7 days, give 2 to 4 times daily.
The sprayer head has depressions that deliver 0.7 mL of gentamicin Sulfate.
In a skin study in dogs, gentamicin sulfate with betamethasone valerate was well-tolerated.There were no changes in the skin related to treatment.
Systemic effects related to treatment were limited to histological changes in the adrenals, liver, and kidneys.All were dose related, typical for or not unexpected with corticosteroid therapy, and were considered to be reversible with cessation of treatment.
Side effects such as weight loss and polyuria have occurred following parenteral or systemic use of synthetic corticosteroids in dogs.There have been cases of Vomiting and Dehydration in dogs.
There have been reports of a syndrome in dogs associated with steroid therapy.
Antibiotic susceptibility should be determined prior to the use of this preparation.Overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms may be allowed by the use of antibiotics.Treatment should be instituted with other appropriate agents if this occurs.
Delayed wound healing can result from the administration of recommended dose beyond 7 days.The animals should be monitored closely.
Don't eat.Following drug withdrawal, oral or parenteral use of steroids may result in inhibition of steroid production.
Therapy with a rapidly acting corticosteroid should be considered for patients who are currently receiving or recently withdrawn from systemic treatments.
Patients should be closely observed for the usual signs of adrenocorticoid overdosage, which include weight gains, fluid retention, and/or polyuria.adverse immunosuppressive effects may be produced by excessive use.
There is a plastic spray bottle that can hold up to 120 or 240 liters of gentamicin Sulfate.
