How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 10,000 U/Gm/Gramicidin 0.25 mg/Gm Topical Cream is a compounded formulation that combines three potent antibiotics to effectively treat a variety of bacterial skin infections. These infections may include conditions such as impetigo, folliculitis, cellulitis, erysipelas, and furunculosis.

Neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, functions by inhibiting the synthesis of proteins in bacteria, thereby preventing their growth and multiplication. Polymyxin B and Gramicidin, both polypeptide antibiotics, work by disrupting the bacterial cell membrane, leading to bacterial cell death. This triple-action antibiotic cream is designed to halt the progression of bacterial skin infections by inhibiting bacterial growth and spread.

The cream is dispensed in a pump mechanism, which allows for convenient and controlled application. It is designed for localized treatment, meaning it should be applied directly to the affected area of the skin. The recommended usage is two to three times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.

Before and after applying the cream, it is crucial to wash your hands to prevent the spread of bacteria. The cream should be applied in a thin layer and gently massaged into the skin until it is fully absorbed. Avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth when applying this medication.

If you have any questions or concerns about using Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 10,000 U/Gm/Gramicidin 0.25 mg/Gm Topical Cream, please do not hesitate to contact your healthcare provider or pharmacist. They can provide you with the necessary guidance to ensure you get the most benefit from your treatment.

Enter the formula as a compound

Compounded preparations have no NDC, so this formula will not appear in your EHR's drug search. Use your system's compound, non-formulary, or free-text prescription entry and name the preparation exactly as written in step 3. If your EHR forces you to pick a listed drug, pick the closest entry for the active ingredient and put the full formula in the prescription body (the Sig or directions field), not in Notes to Pharmacy.

Compounded preparations have no NDC and will not appear in your drug search. For EPCS to validate, select a drug entry your EHR recognizes as controlled, usually the bulk powder entry for the active ingredient (for example Ketamine (bulk) powder, not a branded product), then put the full formula from step 3 in the prescription body. A free-text entry that does not validate as controlled will be rejected by your EPCS module.
