Re:Gentax Brand of Gentamicin Sulfate ophthalmic ointment (not drops).

*It should be. The ingredients are pretty straight forward

Active:* Gentamicin Sulfate equivalent to 3 mg (0.3%) Gentamicin base;

*Preservative:* Methylparaben 0.5 mg and Propylparaben 0.1 mg;

*Inactives:* White Petrolatum and Mineral Oil

Commercially available gentamicin preparations contain other ingredients

(e.g., parabens), which may cause allergic contact dermatitis.^a <#ra>

*Cross-allergenicity.* Cross-allergenicity among aminoglycosides has

been demonstrated; consider the possibility that patients who become

sensitized to topical gentamicin may be sensitive to other topical

and/or systemic aminoglycosides
