Neotracin Ointment (5 mg + 500 IU)/gm is a topical antibiotic formulation containing Neomycin Sulfate and Bacitracin Zinc. This combination provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against a variety of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria, making it effective for preventing and treating superficial skin infections.

Neomycin Sulfate works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis, thereby preventing the growth and multiplication of bacteria. Bacitracin Zinc interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, enhancing the antibacterial effect and providing coverage against additional bacterial strains. The ointment is designed for application to the skin, offering localized action, minimizing systemic absorption, and reducing the risk of systemic side effects.

Neotracin is particularly useful for minor cuts, abrasions, burns, and surgical incisions to prevent infection and promote healing. Its ointment base helps maintain a moist environment that supports tissue repair and recovery.

• Prevention and treatment of superficial skin infections caused by susceptible bacteria

• Minor cuts, scratches, abrasions, and lacerations

Dosage and Administration

Apply a thin layer of Neotracin Ointment to the affected area 1–3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare professional.

Treatment duration usually ranges from a few days to a week, depending on the severity and type of infection. Do not use the ointment for extended periods or over large areas without medical supervision, as this may increase the risk of local or systemic side effects.

• Do not apply to deep puncture wounds, serious burns, or large open wounds unless prescribed by a healthcare provider.
