Supragent Cream is a dermatological antibiotic medication that treats primary and secondary bacterial skin infections. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or the skin breaks and infect the skin. Symptoms include redness, pain, and tenderness of the skin, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching.
Supragent Cream is composed of Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. It has broad-spectrum activity against aerobic Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Supragent Cream is for topical (skin) use only. Common side effects of Supragent Cream include skin irritation, itching, and redness at the application site. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
