Triple Antibiotic Ointment

Description

Triple Antibiotic Ointment is a topical medication used to help prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It typically contains a combination of antibiotics such as bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, which work together to stop the growth of bacteria on the skin. This ointment helps promote faster healing while keeping the affected area moisturized and protected.

Uses

Prevents infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, and aids in wound healing.

Dosage

Clean the affected area and apply a small amount 1–3 times daily. Cover with a sterile bandage if needed.

Side Effects
