How Does it Work

A small arrow pointing down

Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 5000 U/Gm/Bacitracin 500 U/Gm Topical Ointment is a potent combination of three antibiotics, specifically designed to combat a range of skin infections. This semi-solid formulation is dispensed in a tube and is intended for external application to the skin. The greasy or oily base aids in the delivery of the medication, providing localized treatment for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, and wound healing.

The three antibiotics in this formulation work synergistically to inhibit bacterial growth and proliferation. 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, further preventing bacterial growth.

To use this ointment, apply it to the affected area of the skin two to three times daily, following the directions provided by your healthcare provider. Ensure that your hands are clean before and after applying the ointment. Apply the ointment in a thin layer and gently rub it into the skin. Avoid covering the ointment with a bandage or other covering unless directed by your healthcare provider.

It is crucial to use this formulation for the full course of treatment prescribed by your healthcare provider. Discontinuing the use of the ointment prematurely may result in the infection not being completely cured and potentially becoming more difficult to treat. If you have any questions or concerns about using Neomycin 3.5 mg/Gm/Polymyxin B 5000 U/Gm/Bacitracin 500 U/Gm Topical Ointment, please consult with your healthcare provider.

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.
