Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of four active ingredients: Bacitracin, Neomycin, Nystatin, and Triamcinolone Acetonide, each serving a unique therapeutic purpose. It is a semi-solid topical ointment designed for external application to the skin. The greasy or oily base of the ointment aids in the delivery of these medications, providing localized treatment for a variety of skin conditions.

Bacitracin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on your skin. It is effective against a wide range of bacteria and is commonly used to prevent minor skin infections caused by small cuts, scrapes, or burns. Neomycin is another antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial skin infections and will not work for other types of skin infections.

Nystatin is an antifungal medication that works by stopping the growth of fungus. It is used to treat skin infections caused by yeast. Triamcinolone Acetonide is a medium- to strong-potency corticosteroid that reduces swelling, itching, and redness. This can be particularly beneficial in treating inflammatory skin conditions such as eczema and dermatitis.

Together, these four active ingredients provide a comprehensive treatment approach for various skin conditions, from bacterial and fungal infections to inflammatory skin disorders. The ointment is typically applied to the affected area of the skin as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to use this medication regularly to get the most benefit from it. Do not use more of this product, use it more often, or keep using it longer than prescribed by your doctor.

Side effects may include burning, stinging, redness, or irritation. If these effects persist or worsen, or if you have any other side effects, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Before using this medication, tell your doctor or pharmacist your medical history, especially of: poor blood circulation, immune system problems, certain skin conditions (rosacea, perioral dermatitis).

Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation contains four active ingredients: Bacitracin, Neomycin, Nystatin, and Triamcinolone Acetonide. Each of these ingredients has a specific role in treating various skin conditions. Bacitracin and Neomycin are antibiotics that work by stopping the growth of bacteria. Nystatin is an antifungal medication that works by stopping the growth of fungus. Triamcinolone Acetonide is a medium- to strong-potency corticosteroid that reduces swelling, itching, and redness.

It's important to be aware of potential drug interactions when using this formulation. While topical medications generally have fewer systemic interactions than oral or injectable drugs, they can still interact with other medications, particularly if used over large areas of skin or for extended periods of time.

Triamcinolone Acetonide, being a corticosteroid, may interact with drugs like insulin, warfarin, and cyclosporine, potentially requiring adjustments in the dosages of these medications. It may also interact with other corticosteroids, leading to an increased risk of side effects.

Neomycin may interact with certain drugs such as neuromuscular blockers and botulinum toxins, potentially enhancing their effects. It may also interact with other aminoglycoside antibiotics, potentially increasing the risk of side effects such as kidney damage and hearing loss.

Bacitracin may interact with other antibiotics, potentially increasing the risk of kidney damage. It may also interact with drugs that affect blood clotting, such as warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding.

Nystatin, being an antifungal, may interact with other antifungal medications, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. It may also interact with drugs that affect the immune system, such as corticosteroids and immunosuppressants, potentially affecting the body's ability to fight off infections.

It's important to inform your healthcare provider of all the medications you are currently taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements, to avoid potential drug interactions. Also, avoid using this medication on large areas of skin or for extended periods of time unless directed by your healthcare provider.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This formulation is a combination of four active ingredients: Bacitracin, Neomycin, Nystatin, and Triamcinolone Acetonide. Each of these ingredients plays a unique role in treating various skin conditions.

Bacitracin is an antibiotic that prevents bacteria from growing on your skin. It works by interfering with the bacteria's ability to form cell walls. Without these cell walls, the bacteria are unable to survive, effectively treating the infection.

Neomycin is another antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It does this by binding to bacterial ribosomes, preventing them from producing essential proteins. This inhibits the bacteria's ability to replicate and grow, leading to their eventual death.

Nystatin is an antifungal medication that works by binding to sterols in the fungal cell membrane. This disrupts the membrane's structure, causing essential contents of the fungal cells to leak out. This results in the death of the fungus, effectively treating the infection.

Triamcinolone Acetonide is a corticosteroid that works by reducing inflammation. It does this by suppressing the immune system's response to injury or irritation. This reduces swelling, redness, and itching, providing relief from symptoms of inflammation.

The ointment base of this formulation aids in the delivery of these medications. It provides a protective barrier on the skin, which helps to keep the area moist and promotes healing. The greasy or oily base also helps to keep the medication in contact with the skin, allowing for better absorption of the active ingredients.

This formulation is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing. The combination of antibiotics, antifungal, and corticosteroid provides a broad spectrum of treatment, making it effective against a variety of skin conditions.

It's important to note that this medication should only be used on the skin. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, or mouth. If you have any questions about this formulation, don't hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We're here to help.

Other Uses

A small arrow pointing down

Aside from its traditional use in treating skin inflammation, infections, and facilitating wound healing, this formulation of Bacitracin 6 mg/Neomycin 3.6 mg/Nystatin 17 mg/Triamcinolone Acetonide 1 mg/g may also serve other purpose. This topical ointment can be used as a preventive measure for secondary skin infections such as impetigo. Bacitracin and Neomycin together work as a broad spectrum antibiotic, effectively preventing a wide array of both gram positive and gram negative bacteria. On the other hand, Nystatin targets candida or yeast-based infections, which makes this formulation useful for dermatological conditions like intertrigo and diaper rash.

Triamcinolone Acetonide in the formulation serves as a mid-strength corticosteroid, providing anti-inflammatory and anti-itch properties. Consequently, this indicates its possible use in managing symptoms of eczema, psoriasis, or other steroid-responsive dermatoses. In addition, it can be used as a treatment for oral ulcers when prepared and used correctly under the supervision of a healthcare practitioner, which can provide significant relief and improved quality of life.

It's important to note that though this formulation carries potential for a broad variety of uses, each individual's reaction to the medication may differ. Users with hypersensitivities, allergies or infections resistant to these antibiotics, for instance, may not find relief from this formulation. For optimal therapeutic outcomes, it's strongly advised that patients consult with their healthcare providers before initiating or adjusting any medication regimen. As compounding pharmacists, we are able to customize this formulation to fit individual needs and we welcome any further questions or concerns regarding the use of this medication.
