  • Broad-Spectrum Bactericidal Activity Rapid and Concentration-Dependent: Gentamicin's irreversible 30S ribosomal binding mechanism produces rapid, concentration-dependent killing of susceptible gram-negative and gram-positive organisms, achieving bactericidal serum concentrations within 1 hour of intramuscular injection that are sustained for 6 to 12 hours per dose. This rapid action profile is particularly critical in the management of acute, serious, and life-threatening infections where time to bacterial eradication directly impacts patient outcomes.
  • Exceptional Urinary Tract Penetration: Gentamicin is excreted almost entirely via glomerular filtration, with 50 to 100% of the administered dose recovered unchanged in urine producing urinary drug concentrations dramatically exceeding serum levels and the MICs of common uropathogens. This makes Gentavet uniquely effective for complicated and recurrent bacterial UTIs in dogs and cats where oral antibiotics have failed.
  • Post-Antibiotic Effect Extended Bacterial Suppression: Gentamicin exhibits a clinically meaningful post-antibiotic effect (PAE) against gram-negative organisms, suppressing bacterial regrowth for several hours beyond the duration of measurable drug exposure. This PAE supports the pharmacological rationale for once-daily high-dose dosing regimens, reduces the cumulative dose required, and may minimise nephrotoxic risk when administered under veterinary guidance.
  • Synergistic Combination Partner: Gentamicin is a highly effective combination antibiotic partner for beta-lactam agents penicillins, ampicillin, and cephalosporins where co-administration produces additive to synergistic killing, broadens the effective spectrum, and improves outcomes in mixed infections or cases with organisms showing borderline susceptibility to either agent alone.
  • Efficacy Unaffected by Serum and Blood: Unlike some antimicrobials whose activity is significantly impaired by serum proteins or wound fluid, gentamicin retains strong bactericidal activity in the biological environments encountered during systemic infection a property that supports its reliability in bacteraemic and severely infected animals.
  • Stable Multi-Dose 100ml Vial: Gentavet is presented in a 100ml multi-dose vial, providing a practical and cost-effective format for veterinary clinic and farm use where multiple animals may require treatment or where repeated dosing of a single patient is required over a course of therapy.
  • Manufactured to IP Standards with Dual Preservative System: The formulation uses pharmaceutical-grade Gentamicin Sulphate IP with a complementary Methyl Paraben and Propyl Paraben preservative system, maintaining vial sterility across the in-use period and ensuring consistent potency and safety with each successive dose drawn.

How to Use:

Gentavet Veterinary Injection must be administered by or under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian. It is not for self-administration by pet owners outside of professional veterinary direction. The injection may be administered via the intramuscular (I/M), subcutaneous (S/Q), or intravenous (I/V) route, as determined by the treating veterinarian based on the clinical condition and species being treated.

Storage Advice:

Store unopened Gentavet Veterinary Injection vials in a cool, dry place between 2°C and 30°C, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Do not freeze freezing will compromise the integrity of the solution. Once the vial is broached for use, maintain strict aseptic technique with each draw, disinfecting the stopper with 70% alcohol before every needle insertion. Once opened, store at controlled room temperature and use within the manufacturer's recommended in-use period discard any unused solution if contamination is suspected or if the solution shows visible discolouration or particulate matter. Keep out of reach of children. Do not use after the expiry date printed on the vial label and outer carton.

Disclaimer:
Please note that Gentavet Veterinary Injection (Gentamicin Sulphate IP) is a prescription veterinary antibiotic intended exclusively for animal use and must not be used in or on humans under any circumstances the vial is clearly labelled "Not for Human Use / For Animal Treatment Only." This product must be prescribed, dosed, and administered by or under the direct supervision of a licensed veterinarian following clinical assessment, confirmed or suspected bacterial infection, and wherever possible, bacteriological culture and sensitivity testing. Gentamicin is a potentially nephrotoxic and ototoxic aminoglycoside antibiotic the risk of renal and auditory toxicity is significantly increased with excessive doses, prolonged courses, dehydration, concurrent administration of nephrotoxic drugs (including NSAIDs, loop diuretics, and other aminoglycosides), and in animals with pre-existing renal insufficiency or failure. This product must not be administered to animals with known renal compromise without explicit veterinary assessment and risk-benefit evaluation. Do not mix with other antibiotics in the same syringe or vial. Self-administration of this product by pet owners without veterinary direction is strongly contraindicated. The information provided on this page is for educational and reference purposes only and does not constitute veterinary medical advice, a diagnosis, or a treatment recommendation. Animeal supports your pet's health and wellbeing but does not replace the expertise and clinical judgement of a qualified veterinary professional.

Q: Which animals is Gentavet Veterinary Injection suitable for, and at what age can it be used?
Gentavet is indicated for use in dogs, cats, cattle, and other domestic and companion animals as directed by a veterinarian. It is not suitable for animals with known renal insufficiency or failure, or those with known hypersensitivity to gentamicin or other aminoglycoside antibiotics. Use in neonatal, geriatric, or renally compromised animals requires extra caution and should only be undertaken under close veterinary supervision with appropriate dose adjustment and renal function monitoring.
Q: How frequently should Gentavet be administered, and how long does a course of treatment typically last?
Dosage frequency and course duration are determined entirely by the treating veterinarian based on the severity and site of infection, the animal's body weight and renal function, and the results of culture and sensitivity testing. Standard veterinary practice for aminoglycosides typically involves once-daily dosing to leverage the post-antibiotic effect and minimise nephrotoxic accumulation, though twice-daily protocols may be indicated in specific clinical scenarios. Course length is typically 5 to 7 days for uncomplicated infections, with reassessment at 48 to 72 hours to confirm clinical response.
Q: Will Gentavet be effective against my pet's specific bacterial infection?
Gentamicin is active against the majority of clinically significant gram-negative organisms including E. coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella, Enterobacter, and Proteus as well as Staphylococcus species among gram-positive pathogens. However, not all bacteria are susceptible to gentamicin, and some organisms have intrinsic or acquired resistance. Bacteriological culture and sensitivity testing is the gold standard for confirming that gentamicin is the appropriate agent for your pet's specific infection. Your veterinarian will recommend this testing where clinically feasible.
Q: What are the side effects and safety precautions I should be aware of?
The most clinically significant risks associated with gentamicin are nephrotoxicity (kidney damage) and ototoxicity (damage to hearing and vestibular function) both of which are dose- and duration-dependent and are significantly increased with overdose, prolonged courses, concurrent nephrotoxic drug use, and in dehydrated or renally compromised animals. Signs of nephrotoxicity to monitor include reduced urination, increased water intake, lethargy, and loss of appetite. Signs of vestibular toxicity include head tilt, loss of balance, and circling. If any of these signs develop during treatment, contact your veterinarian immediately. Do not administer concurrently with other aminoglycosides, loop diuretics, or nephrotoxic NSAIDs without veterinary guidance.
Q: How can I purchase Gentavet Veterinary Injection through Animeal?
Gentavet Veterinary Injection is available through the Animeal website and app. As a prescription veterinary antibiotic, a valid prescription from a licensed veterinarian is required for purchase in accordance with applicable regulations under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act, 1940. Our pharmacy team will guide you through the prescription verification process. For clinic or bulk orders, please contact our customer support team for pricing and delivery options.
