Bacitracin, Neomycin, Polymyxin B

Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B is a combination of three antibiotics used to treat bacterial infections of the skin. Bacitracin is a protein antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that targets bacterial protein synthesis. Polymyxin B is a polypeptide antibiotic that disrupts bacterial cell membrane function. This combination medication is commonly used to treat minor skin infections such as abrasions, cuts, and wounds, as well as to prevent infections in surgical incisions. It is important to use this medication only for infections that are caused by bacteria and to avoid using it on infections that may be caused by fungi or viruses. As with all medications, follow the instructions provided by a healthcare professional to ensure proper use and to minimize the risk of side effects.
