Description
Polysporin First Aid Antibiotic Ointment combines two proven antibiotics to provide broad-spectrum protection against bacterial infections in minor wounds. This dual-antibiotic formula contains both bacitracin and polymyxin B, working synergistically to prevent infection in cuts, scrapes, and minor burns. The combination provides coverage against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, offering more comprehensive protection than single-antibiotic products. Polysporin has been trusted by healthcare professionals and families for over 50 years as an effective first aid treatment. The smooth, petroleum-based ointment creates a protective barrier over wounds while delivering antibiotic therapy directly to the injury site. This formulation helps maintain optimal wound moisture for faster healing while preventing bacterial contamination. The ointment spreads easily and won't stick to bandages, making dressing changes more comfortable. Unlike triple-antibiotic ointments, Polysporin doesn't contain neomycin, reducing the risk of allergic reactions. The convenient half-ounce tube is perfect for home medicine cabinets, first aid kits, and travel use. Clinical studies demonstrate Polysporin's effectiveness in preventing infection and promoting faster wound healing compared to untreated wounds.
Suggested Use
Clean affected area gently and apply small amount of ointment 1-3 times daily. May cover with sterile bandage if desired. Do not use for more than one week unless directed by healthcare provider. Reapply after cleaning wound or changing bandages.
