Directions for Use:

For external use only: Avoid contact with eyes. Do not use for large areas of the body or for longer than 1 week unless directed by a doctor.
Mechanism of Action:
The ointment works through the combined antibacterial actions of Bacitracin Zinc and Polymyxin B Sulfate, each attacking the bacteria's cellular integrity:
Bacitracin Zinc interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, hindering its ability to grow and multiply,
Polymyxin B Sulfate disrupts the bacterial cell membrane, leading to leakage of cellular contents and eventual bacterial cell death.
Together, these agents provide comprehensive protection by targeting different aspects of bacterial structure and physiology, reducing the risk of infection in minor wounds.
Directions for Use:
1. Clean the affected area with mild soap and water; rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
2. Apply a small amount of ointment (an amount equal to the surface area of the tip of a cotton swab) to the affected area 1 to 3 times daily.
3. Optional: Cover the treated area with a sterile bandage if desired, renewing the bandage as needed.
4. Wash hands immediately after applying the ointment unless hands are part of the treated area.
Warnings:
-
For external use only. Avoid contact with the eyes. In the event of accidental contact, rinse eyes thoroughly with water.
- Do not use on large areas of the body, in the eyes, or if you are allergic to any of the components.
- Not recommended for use on deep or puncture wounds, animal bites, or serious burns unless directed by a healthcare professional.
- Discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional if the condition persists or worsens, or if a rash or other allergic reaction occurs.
Side Effects:

- Local irritation or redness at the application site.
