About Nebaspor Ointment 5gm

Nebaspor Ointment 5gm is a dermatological medication that belongs to the class of 'antibiotics' and is primarily used to treat bacterial skin infections. Nebaspor Ointment 5gm 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 5gm 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 5gm treats bacterial skin infections.

Your doctor will advise the appropriate dose that suits your infection. Common side effects of Nebaspor Ointment 5gm include itching, skin irritation, rash, redness, and swelling at the application site. These side effects may not occur in every patient using this medication and differ individually. If the side effects persist longer or worsen, please seek a doctor's advice.

Inform your doctor if you are sensitive to Nebaspor Ointment 5gm or other medications. Do not apply Nebaspor Ointment 5gm on deep puncture wounds, serious burns, deep cuts or an animal bite. Let your doctor know if you have viral or fungal skin infections, chronic ear infections, and ruptured ear drum before using Nebaspor Ointment 5gm. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before starting Nebaspor Ointment 5gm.

Medicinal Benefits

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