Nebaspor Ointment 5 gm

Nebaspor Ointment 5 gm is a dermatological medication that belongs to the class of 'antibiotics' and is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections. Nebaspor Ointment 5 gm is used as a first aid antibiotic to prevent infections in minor cuts, scrapes, or burns on the skin. Bacterial skin infection occurs when bacteria penetrate through hair follicles or the broken skin and cause infection.

Nebaspor Ointment 5 gm is composed of three antibiotic medicines: Bacitracin, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B. Bacitracin is a bacteriostatic medicine that works by inhibiting the bacterial cell wall synthesis. Neomycin prevents the synthesis of essential proteins required by bacteria to carry out vital functions. Polymyxin B destroys the bacterial membranes by binding to the phospholipids on cell membranes of gram-negative bacteria. This process of binding causes the loss of essential metabolites in bacteria. Together, Nebaspor Ointment 5 gm treats bacterial skin infections.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection.
