FAQs - GentaCalm Topical Spray for Bacterial Skin Infections

What is GentaCalm Topical Spray used for?

GentaCalm Topical Spray is prescribed to treat bacterial skin infections in dogs. It contains gentamicin to eliminate bacteria and betamethasone to reduce inflammation and relieve itching, making it ideal for treating infected lesions, hot spots, and other forms of skin irritation.

Can GentaCalm Spray be used on open wounds?

GentaCalm is designed for superficial skin infections and lesions, but it should not be applied to deep wounds unless advised by a veterinarian. The spray's active ingredients can provide antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits, but avoid use on deep cuts or surgical wounds without vet guidance.

How long should I use GentaCalm Spray on my dog?

Duration of treatment depends on the severity of the infection and veterinary advice. Generally, the spray is used for one to two weeks or until symptoms improve. Extended use should only be done under a vet's supervision to prevent potential side effects from long-term corticosteroid exposure.

Can I apply GentaCalm more than twice a day?

GentaCalm should be applied according to your veterinarian’s instructions, typically twice daily. Overuse could increase the risk of side effects from betamethasone. Always follow the recommended dosage, as frequent applications do not necessarily speed up recovery and may cause skin irritation.

What should I do if my dog has an adverse reaction to GentaCalm?

If your dog experiences increased redness, swelling, or any unusual symptoms, discontinue use and consult your veterinarian promptly. Adverse reactions can occur in rare cases, especially with allergies or sensitivities to the active ingredients, and your vet may suggest an alternative treatment.

Is GentaCalm effective against yeast infections?

GentaCalm is formulated to treat bacterial infections rather than fungal or yeast infections. For yeast issues, your veterinarian may recommend antifungal medications or sprays designed specifically to combat yeast growth, as GentaCalm's ingredients target bacteria.

Can I use GentaCalm alongside other topical treatments?

Avoid combining GentaCalm with other topical treatments unless your veterinarian specifically recommends it. Mixing products can dilute the effectiveness or increase the chance of skin irritation. Always consult a vet before using additional skin treatments on the affected area.

How should I store GentaCalm Topical Spray?

Store GentaCalm upright in a cool, dry place between 2°C and 30°C (36°F and 86°F). Avoid exposure to direct sunlight or freezing temperatures to maintain the efficacy of the medication. Keep out of reach of children and pets to ensure safety.

Is GentaCalm safe for long-term use?

GentaCalm contains corticosteroids, which are not typically intended for long-term use due to potential side effects such as skin thinning or systemic absorption. Only use it as directed by your veterinarian and consult them if prolonged use is needed for chronic conditions.

Does GentaCalm relieve itching immediately?

GentaCalm often provides relief within the first few applications, especially for itching caused by inflammation. The anti-inflammatory properties of betamethasone work to soothe itching and irritation quickly, though the full antibacterial effect may take several days of consistent use.
