Nebasulf Ointment 20 gm

Nebasulf Ointment 20 gm is a dermatological medication that belongs to the class of 'antibiotics' and is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections. Nebasulf Ointment 20 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.

Nebasulf Ointment 20 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, Nebasulf Ointment 20 gm treats bacterial skin infections.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Common side effects of Nebasulf Ointment 20 gm include itching, skin irritation, rash, redness, and swelling at the application site.
