It contains a combination of three different antibiotics: bacitracin, polymyxin B, and gramicidin. These antibiotics work together to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria on the skin, helping to prevent infection and promote healing.

Use and Dosage

Apply the ointment 1 to 3 times a day over the affected area. Cover with a dressing or leave exposed as directed by your doctor. Do not use the ointment in your eyes.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.

It is important to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule.
