Formula Information

A small arrow pointing down

Bayview Pharmacy's Clindamycin 1 mg/Gm/Gentamicin 1 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 2,000 U/Gm Topical Gel is a specially compounded medication designed to treat a variety of skin conditions. This unique formulation combines the power of three active ingredients: clindamycin, gentamicin, and polymyxin B, each contributing to a broad spectrum of antibacterial activity.

Clindamycin is an antibiotic that functions by inhibiting the growth of bacteria. Gentamicin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, disrupts bacterial cell wall synthesis, thereby preventing the bacteria from multiplying. Polymyxin B, a polypeptide antibiotic, disrupts the cell membrane of bacteria, leading to bacterial cell death. The combined action of these three ingredients provides an effective treatment for a variety of skin infections, including acne, impetigo, and folliculitis.

This compounded formulation is dispensed as a semisolid gel through a pump mechanism, facilitating easy and precise application on the skin. This allows for targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients directly at the site of infection. The gel-like consistency ensures that the medication stays on the skin for a longer duration, thereby enhancing its effectiveness.

It is crucial to follow the instructions provided by your healthcare provider when using this medication. This medication should not be used for more than two weeks without consulting your healthcare provider. Overuse or misuse of antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, which can make future infections harder to treat.

If you have any questions about Bayview Pharmacy's Clindamycin 1 mg/Gm/Gentamicin 1 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 2,000 U/Gm Topical Gel, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
