Mode of Action
How Does It Work?
- Neosporin ointment contains a combination of polymyxin B, bacitracin, and neomycin as active substances.
- Polymyxin-B is an antibiotic that alters the permeability of the cell membrane of the bacteria resulting in the death of the infection-causing organism.
- Bacitracin prevents the formation of certain substances needed for the proper structure formation of the bacteria.
- Neomycin is an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis and prevents the growth and survival of bacteria.
Interactions
Interactions with other medicines
- Since Neosporin ointment is to be used externally on the skin, it is less likely to interact with other medicines.
- However, consult your doctor if you are taking other medicines for treating any other health conditions.
