Oriheal Opthovet G Gentamicin Ophthalmic Eye Drops for Dogs & Cats
Oriheal Opthovet G is a veterinary prescription ophthalmic solution containing Gentamicin (aminoglycoside antibiotic), manufactured by Oriheal Lifesciences. Unlike combination corticosteroid-antibiotic ophthalmic preparations, Opthovet G is a steroid-free antibiotic eye drop — making it suitable for use in bacterial eye infections where corticosteroids are contraindicated, including cases with corneal ulceration. Opthovet G is indicated for bacterial conjunctivitis, keratitis, blepharitis, and other bacterial ocular surface infections in dogs and cats.
Composition (to be confirmed from product label)
-
Gentamicin — concentration % (confirm from label) — aminoglycoside antibiotic
- Sterile ophthalmic vehicle base — q.s.
Mechanism of Action
- Gentamicin binds irreversibly to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria — causes misreading of mRNA and inhibits bacterial protein synthesis; bactericidal activity against gram-negative organisms (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, E. coli, Klebsiella) and gram-positive organisms (Staphylococcus spp.) commonly causing ocular surface infections in dogs and cats
Therapeutic Class
- Veterinary aminoglycoside antibiotic prescription ophthalmic eye drops for dogs and cats — steroid-free bacterial eye infection treatment
Key Benefits
- Broad-spectrum aminoglycoside bactericidal coverage — effective against Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus, and other common gram-negative and gram-positive ocular pathogens
- Steroid-free formulation — can be used safely in bacterial eye infections with concurrent corneal ulceration (where corticosteroid-containing drops are contraindicated)
- Targeted antibiotic-only therapy for uncomplicated bacterial ocular infections not requiring concurrent anti-inflammatory treatment
- Sterile ophthalmic formulation — suitable for direct instillation into the eye
Indications
- Bacterial conjunctivitis in dogs and cats
- Bacterial keratitis and corneal surface infections
- Blepharitis — bacterial eyelid margin infections
- Ocular surface bacterial infections including those associated with corneal ulceration (steroid-free use)
- Post-surgical ocular antibiotic prophylaxis as directed by veterinarian
Directions for Use
- Instil 1–2 drops into the affected eye(s) as directed by a licensed veterinarian
- Frequency and duration determined by the prescribing veterinarian based on species, diagnosis, and clinical response
- Gently clean ocular discharge from around the eye before instillation if present
- Do not touch the dropper tip to the eye, eyelid, or any surface — replace cap immediately after use to maintain sterility
