Drug Interactions

A small arrow pointing down

Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 5000 U/Gm/Bacitracin 400 U/Gm Topical Powder is a compounded formulation of antibiotics specifically designed to combat bacterial skin infections. This finely divided dry formulation is intended for external application to the skin, offering benefits such as moisture absorption, soothing properties, and reducing friction. It is commonly used for various dermatological conditions or as a part of skincare routines.

It is crucial to understand that this formulation is not intended to treat viral or fungal infections. The combination of Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Bacitracin works to inhibit the growth of bacteria, thereby treating the infection. However, it may interact with other medications, particularly those used to treat other skin conditions, such as topical steroids. Therefore, it is highly recommended that patients inform their healthcare provider of all medications they are currently taking before starting this treatment.

Patients with known allergies to any of the ingredients in this formulation should refrain from using it. In the event of any adverse reactions, such as redness, itching, or swelling, patients should immediately discontinue use and contact their healthcare provider. It is also advised to avoid contact with the eyes, nose, and mouth while using this formulation to prevent any potential irritation or discomfort.

As with any medication, it is essential to use this formulation as directed by a healthcare provider. Overuse or misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance, making infections harder to treat. If you have any questions or concerns about this formulation, please consult with your healthcare provider for further guidance.

How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

This topical powder is a compounded formulation of three potent antibiotics: Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm, Polymyxin B 5000 U/Gm, and Bacitracin 400 U/Gm. Each antibiotic plays a crucial role in combating bacterial infections. Neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, functions by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the bacteria from growing and multiplying. Polymyxin B, a polypeptide antibiotic, disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, leading to bacterial cell death. Bacitracin, another polypeptide antibiotic, inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, which is vital for the bacteria's survival and growth.

Together, these three antibiotics provide broad-spectrum coverage against a variety of bacterial infections. It is also indicated for the prevention of infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, offering a protective barrier against potential bacterial invasion.

To use this formulation, it should be applied directly to the affected area of the skin. The powder should be gently rubbed into the skin until it is completely absorbed. This ensures that the antibiotics are delivered directly to the site of infection, providing targeted treatment. It is important to note that this formulation should not be used on open wounds or on areas of the skin that are broken or irritated, as this could potentially lead to further complications.

If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please do not hesitate to reach out. We are here to provide you with the necessary information and guidance to ensure that you get the most out of 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.
