This is a topical triple-antibiotic combination. Bacitracin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while neomycin (an aminoglycoside) and polymyxin B disrupt bacterial protein synthesis and cell membrane integrity, providing broad antibacterial coverage against common skin pathogens.

For external use only. Clean and dry the affected area, then apply a thin layer 1–3 times daily or as directed by a doctor; may be covered with a sterile bandage. Avoid contact with eyes, mouth and inside the nose; wash hands before and after use.
Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.
