NEOSPORIN ANTIBIOTIC POWDER offers comprehensive benefits by combining three antibiotics: neomycin, polymyxin B, and bacitracin. This triple-action formula effectively combats a wide range of bacteria, prevents infection, and supports faster healing. Its application helps reduce pain and inflammation while enhancing the recovery process for various skin injuries.
Mechanism of Action
NEOSPORIN ANTIBIOTIC POWDER’s effectiveness stems from its combination of antibiotics:
