Open the shopping website and click on "MSD Scar Removing Cream", and many shops will appear soon. Look at the online publicity, this is the charm of the network, which can turn topical antibiotic ointment into a miraculous medicine to dilute, calm and soften scars! Wake up, this is not a scar cream. Its foreign name confuses many people who can't understand the truth. MSD is misunderstood as a biochemical component, which reveals its mystery. In fact, it is only 0. 1% gentamicin sulfate ointment, and MSD is only Merck &; Short for co, not a pharmaceutical ingredient. The main component is gentamicin sulfate 0. 1%. Gentamicin sulfate is the English generic name of gentamicin sulfate. Look here. Understand? It is 0. 1% gentamicin sulfate ointment.
Let's start with gentamicin. Gentamicin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic, which is produced by fermentation of Actinomycete Microorganism. It is very effective against infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Escherichia coli, and has certain antibacterial activity against Mycoplasma pneumoniae. However, the drug resistance of clinical isolates to gentamicin is increasing rapidly, and the abuse of gentamicin increases the drug resistance rate. Moreover, gentamicin has side effects such as ototoxicity, nephrotoxicity and neuromuscular block. Topical medication in the ear can lead to vestibular dysfunction and hearing loss. External ear administration is prohibited, and it cannot be used for intraocular or subconjunctival administration, because it may lead to macular necrosis.
Gentamicin ointment is used for skin infection abroad (Japan). Mupirocin ointment, fusidic acid ointment or erythromycin ointment are recommended for the treatment of skin infection, which are safer and have less toxic and side effects. I repeat: it is just an antibiotic ointment for external use, not a "scar cream". There is no "quba ointment" or similar text description on the product package, but the Japanese logo can be clearly seen below the name of its dosage form: コシド is an antibiotic preparation, and the package clearly indicates that it belongs to antibiotics. Preparation (Japanese), that is, antibiotic preparation for external use. As for those magical effects, there is also the so-called "scar-removing cream", which is all hype and put on a beautiful coat. If you don't know the true ingredients of the cream, don't blindly believe that it is a "scar medicine"! Read the instructions carefully, don't believe in folk remedies, and listen to rumors.
