Description
NEOSPORIN Skin Ointment is a topical ointment designed for the prevention and treatment of minor skin infections. It combines three active ingredients: Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Bacitracin, which are antibiotics that help to treat and prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, burns, and other small wounds. This ointment is commonly used in first-aid care to prevent infection and promote healing.
Key Features:
-
Neomycin (Antibiotic): Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It targets Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria commonly found on the skin.
-
Polymyxin B (Antibiotic): Polymyxin B is effective against Gram-negative bacteria, especially those that may cause infections in wounds. It works by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to bacterial cell death.
-
Bacitracin (Antibiotic): Bacitracin works against Gram-positive bacteria by inhibiting cell wall synthesis, which prevents bacterial growth and spread of infection.
Indications:
NEOSPORIN Skin Ointment is used for:
- Minor cuts, scrapes, and burns: It helps to prevent infection in small skin injuries and promotes faster healing.
- Superficial skin infections: For treating minor skin infections, it acts as a protective barrier against bacterial growth.
- Wound care: Applied to minor wounds to avoid bacterial infection.
- Insect bites or stings: Can help prevent infection from developing in the affected area.
