Consult your doctor first:

Even if the salt is the same, your doctor can confirm if the substitute is right for your condition, dosage, and health history.

Watch out for allergies or reactions:

Price ≠ effectiveness:

A lower-priced substitute doesn't mean it's less effective. Many generic medicines work just as well as branded ones.

Check the dosage form and strength:

Always match the substitute’s strength (e.g., 5mg, 10mg) and form (tablet, capsule, syrup) with what your doctor prescribed.

Uses

Bacterial skin infections.

Medicinal Benefits

Yaskin-G Gel treats various bacterial skin infections, such as eczema (inflamed, itchy, cracked and rough skin patches), psoriasis (skin cells multiply rapidly to form bumpy (uneven) red patches covered with white scales), dermatitis (itchy inflammation of the skin), infected skin cysts, and insect bites. Yaskin-G Gel consists of Gentamicin (antibiotic). It prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Yaskin-G Gel is also used for treating wet, oozing primary infections and greasy, secondary infections, such as pustular acne or infected seborrheic dermatitis (scaly patches and red skin mainly on the scalp).
