Neosporin Dusting Powder 10 gm

Neosporin Dusting Powder 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 broken skin and cause disease.

Neosporin Dusting Powder is composed of three antibiotic medicines: Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B. Bacitracin is a bacteriostatic medicine that 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 on the cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. This process of binding causes the loss of essential metabolites in bacteria. Together, Neosporin Dusting Powder treats bacterial skin infections.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Common side effects of Neosporin Dusting Powder 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 may vary from person to person. If the side effects persist or worsen, please consult a doctor.

Neosporin Dusting Powder is contraindicated in patients who have allergic hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients or kanamycin, gentamycin, framycetin and other related antibiotics. Let your doctor know if you have viral or fungal skin infections before using Neosporin Dusting Powder. Avoid applying Neosporin Dusting Powder on sunburns, lesions, blisters and open wounds.

Neosporin Dusting Powder is composed of three antibiotic medicines, namely Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B. Bacitracin is a bacteriostatic medicine (that stops the growth or reproduction of bacteria). It works by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Polymyxin B, an antibiotic, destroys the bacterial membrane by binding to the phospholipids on the cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. This process of binding causes the loss of essential metabolites in bacteria. Together, Neosporin Dusting Powder treats bacterial skin infections.
