How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 5000 U/Gm/Bacitracin 500 U/Gm Topical Ointment is a potent combination of three antibiotics, specifically designed to combat a range of skin infections. This semi-solid formulation is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin. The greasy or oily base aids in the delivery of the medication, providing localized treatment for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, and wound healing.

The three antibiotics in this formulation work synergistically to inhibit bacterial growth and proliferation. Neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying. Polymyxin B, a polypeptide antibiotic, disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, leading to bacterial cell death. Bacitracin, another polypeptide antibiotic, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, further preventing bacterial growth.

This combination of antibiotics is particularly effective in treating bacterial skin infections such as impetigo, folliculitis, and furunculosis. To use this ointment, apply it to the affected area of the skin two to three times daily, following the directions provided by your healthcare provider. Ensure that your hands are clean before and after applying the ointment. Apply the ointment in a thin layer and gently rub it into the skin. Avoid covering the ointment with a bandage or other covering unless directed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to use this formulation for the full course of treatment prescribed by your healthcare provider. Discontinuing the use of the ointment prematurely may result in the infection not being completely cured and potentially becoming more difficult to treat. If you have any questions or concerns about using Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 5000 U/Gm/Bacitracin 500 U/Gm Topical Ointment, please consult with your healthcare provider.
