Polysporin Triple Antibiotic Ointment is an over-the-counter topical medication used for treating minor cuts, scrapes, and burns, and helping to prevent infections.

The Ointment contains Bacitracin Zinc and Polymyxin B Sulfate as its active ingredients. These antibiotics work by killing or inhibiting the growth of bacteria that could cause skin infections. Bacitracin works by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Polymyxin B disrupts bacterial cell membranes.

Polysporin Triple Antibiotic Ointment is a topical medication used to prevent or treat bacterial skin infections and apply a small amount of the ointment to the area 1 to 3 times daily.

To use Polysporin Triple Antibiotic Ointment, follow these steps:

  1. Wash your hands and the affected area with soap and water.
  2. Dry the area thoroughly.
  3. Apply a small amount of the ointment to the affected area with a clean fingertip or cotton swab.
  4. Cover the area with a sterile bandage or gauze if desired.
  5. Avoid contact with eyes, nose, mouth, or open wounds.
  6. Repeat the application every 1-3 days as needed.

Use the Ointment 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.
