Topical Antibiotic Ointment

Please let me know where Penicilina Pomada may be purchased or if it's something that requires a prescription? ## As to such a product, since it contains Penicillin, in the U.S. it is only available by prescription from your doctor. It is an antibiotic and if use improperly, there is a risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria, which may be dangerous. The brand you mentioned is from Mexico and it's available there over the counter, but not in the U.S., as I said. Has your doctor recommended that you use it? ## I'd like to know about the price and availability of "sulfatiazol con penicilina pomade latacon 10 g" if anyone has that information to share? ## My husband went into a Latino grocery store and purchased this over the counter for $7.00 plus the pill form...

I suffer from cystic acne and I use topical clindamycin but I found some penicillin cream in a Hispanic store and I was wondering if I could use it like I do the topical clindamycin? ## If you are allergic to Penicillin, it would be best not to use it in any form. There is a possibility of experiencing allergic reactions, even if you just use it topically.

I'll talk to him to see if he might want to prescribe it...

Can this salve be used on your lips? ## Hello, Henry! How are you? This is an antibiotic ointment, so it should only be used if you have a topical skin infection as diagnosed and directed by your doctor. I'd say to stay away from using it on your lips, unless your doctors says it is safe to do so, since it's not formulated for such use and may be dangerous to ingest. Are there any other questions or concerns?
