Bayview Pharmacy's Polymyxin B 10,000 U/Gm/Bacitracin 500 U/Gm Topical Ointment is a semi-solid formulation that is dispensed in a tube and is designed for external application to the skin. It is a combination of two potent antibiotics, polymyxin B and bacitracin, which work synergistically to combat the bacteria causing these infections.
Polymyxin B functions by killing the bacteria, while bacitracin inhibits the growth and spread of the bacteria. This dual action ensures a comprehensive approach to treating the infection. The ointment provides a greasy or oily base that aids in the delivery of these therapeutic agents, ensuring localized treatment. This formulation is typically used for conditions such as skin inflammation, infections, or wound healing.
The ointment is easy to apply and can be used up to four times a day, depending on the severity of the infection and the advice of your healthcare provider. It is crucial to adhere to the instructions on the label and to complete the entire course of treatment, even if the symptoms improve before the treatment course is finished. This is to ensure that the infection is completely eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
If you have any questions about this formulation or how to use it, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at Bayview Pharmacy. We are committed to providing comprehensive information and guidance to ensure the safe and appropriate use of our compounded formulations.

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.
