About Neosporin Skin Ointment
Neosporin Skin Ointment is a dermatological medication that belongs to the class of 'antibiotics' and is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections. Neosporin Skin Ointment is used as a first aid antibiotic to prevent infections in minor cuts, scrapes, or burns on the skin. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or the broken skin and cause infection.
Neosporin Skin Ointment is composed of three antibiotic medicines: Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B. Bacitracin is a bacteriostatic medicine that works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Polymyxin B destroys the bacterial membranes by binding to the phospholipids on cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. This process of binding causes the loss of essential metabolites in bacteria. Together, Neosporin Skin Ointment treats bacterial skin infections.
Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Common side effects of Neosporin Skin Ointment include itching, skin irritation, rash, redness, and swelling at the application site. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.
Inform your doctor if you are sensitive to Neosporin Skin Ointment or other medications. Do not apply Neosporin Skin Ointment on deep puncture wounds, serious burns, deep cuts or an animal bite. Let your doctor know if you have viral or fungal skin infections, chronic ear infections, and ruptured ear drum before using Neosporin Skin Ointment. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Neosporin Skin Ointment.
