Triple Antibiotic

Bacitracin + Neomycin + Polymyxin B

Bacitracin[1] is a polypeptide antibiotic. It is a mixture of related cyclic peptides produced by Bacillus licheniformis bacteria, that was first isolated from the variety "Tracy I" (ATCC 10716) in 1945.[2] These peptides disrupt Gram-positive bacteria by interfering with cell wall and peptidoglycan synthesis. Bacitracin is primarily used as a topical preparation, as it can cause kidney damage when used internally.[3] It is generally safe when u...

I got hot wax spilled on me from one of those wax burners that you plug in and makes your house smell amazing. Well it has burned my skin pretty bad in a few different spots causing bleeding, scabing and greenish/yellow nasty odor discharge. I have been cleaning it with peroxide and putting triple antibiotic cream but have some leftover and a refill for more of these h49 pills. Will they help with the skin infection to get better and not worse? ## To be honest, while the antibiotic may help, it is really time to see your doctor. While I'm fairly certain an antibiotic may help, there's a chance that you don't have enough to full eradicate this infection. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarr...

I am 60 yrs old & used BGO since I was a child. I too, cannot find this miracle drug. If this is no longer made, I would like to know if anyone knows of something in stores that works as well. I am desparate. When I get a bug bite, it makes large water blister & my physician says use triple antibiotics & this does not help. Has anyone found something like BGO and if so where? Gerri ## Hi Gerri, How are you? Although this product is no longer available, other users on this site who were also inquiring about it, had mentioned that the ingredients listed on the BGO packaging were as follows: Salicylic Acid + Sulphur + Zinc Oxide + Phenol Calamine + Menthol + Petrolatum + Lanolin + mineral oil. I would just suggest talking to a compounding pharmacy to see if they can reformulate...

I have a UTI and was PRESCRIBED.250MG Ciprofoxacn I also have a recent vomiting issue and the dr.prescribed 25MG of Promethazine. I also take 75mg of Levothyroxin and 600MG of Tripleptal everyday for my bipolor & thyroid problems.. I am wondering cause my fiance and I have unprotected intercourse everynight.. ## Hello, Kookie! How are you? No, there shouldn't be any problems, since Implanon doesn't use estrogens and that is what antibiotics usually affect to decrease the efficacy of contraceptives, but you should double check with your doctor or pharmacist to be certain. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have cellulitis in the folded overlap on my stomach. It was diagnosed. Can I use gelmicin on it when it starts itching or gets red? ## Hello, Reed! How are you? It would best to consult your doctor, before using it, just to be safe. It contains an antibiotic, antifungal and steroid that is used topically. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including skin redness, irritation, dryness, rash and headache. Are you on an oral antibiotic, as well? ## I cut myself on my toe with my bathtub can I use this cream I ran out of triple antibiotic

I am concerned about starting Keflex because I just finished taking Amoxicillin. Will this be ok? ## Did you find out if it was okay to start taking this? On the drug info page it says to let your doctor know if you are taking any other antibiotics while taking keflex. But technically if you already stopped taking the amoxicililn then you might be safe to take keflex. Sometimes you might be prescribed a different antibiotic so that the bacteria don't build a tolerance in your body to the original one you were on. But it is definitely best to triple check with your doctor about this. Is it for the same infection or for a new infection as when you were first on the amoxicillin ? ## Yes, starting a new one, when you've already finished the other is generally not a problem, unless y...
