Indications
Polysporin Triple Antibiotic Ointment is a topical medication used for the prevention and treatment of minor skin infections. It contains a combination of three different antibiotics: bacitracin, polymyxin B, and gramicidin. These antibiotics work together to kill or inhibit the growth of bacteria on the skin, helping to prevent infection and promote healing.
Use and Dosage
Apply the ointment 1 to 3 times a day over the affected area. Cover with a dressing or leave exposed as directed by your doctor. Do not use the ointment in your eyes.
Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are using the medication without consulting your doctor.
It is important to use this medication exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue with your regular schedule. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Side Effects

Rarely, use of this medication for prolonged or repeated periods may result in a fungal infection or a different bacterial skin infection. Contact your doctor if you notice any new unusual skin symptoms (such as scaling, swelling, or hot skin) while using this medication. A different medication may need to be used.
