Customer question:
Can I buy Garamycin ointment without a prescription? Question from an anonymous customer
Pharmacist's answer:
Garamycin ointment is a prescription medicine, which means that it CAN be obtained without a doctor's prescription.
Garamycin ointment contains the antibiotic gentamicin, which is effective against various bacterial infections of the skin. This medicine is usually used to treat minor skin infections, such as wounds, burns, cuts or inflammations caused by bacteria sensitive to gentamicin.
Garamycin ointment should only be used if prescribed by a doctor who assesses the appropriateness of treatment with this medicine based on the type of infection and the patient's condition. Incorrect use of antibiotics can lead to the development of bacterial resistance or ineffective treatment. For minor skin problems that do not require antibiotics, other over-the-counter medications are also available.
