Medicine Description gramidin 0.3%
Gramidin 15g Ointment is a medication that contains gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic. This topical treatment acts by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, interfering with their protein synthesis. By inhibiting protein production, gentamicin effectively prevents bacterial growth and replication, leading to cell death. Its broad-spectrum antibacterial activity makes it effective against a variety of gram-negative and some gram-positive organisms. Furthermore, the ointment's formulation aids in delivering the active ingredient to the localized site of infection while providing a protective barrier against further contamination.
