About Nebasulf Ointment 5 gm
Nebasulf Ointment 5 gm is primarily 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.
Nebasulf Ointment 5 gm is composed of Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B. Bacitracin works by inhibiting 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, thus treating bacterial skin infections.
Common side effects of Nebasulf Ointment 5 gm 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.
