Neotracin Powder (5 mg + 250 IU)/gm is a topical antibiotic powder containing Neomycin Sulfate and Bacitracin Zinc. This formulation is designed to prevent and treat superficial bacterial infections in minor cuts, abrasions, burns, and other skin injuries. The combination of Neomycin and Bacitracin provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity, making it effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and some Gram-negative bacteria.

Neomycin Sulfate works by interfering with bacterial protein synthesis, preventing bacterial growth and multiplication. Bacitracin Zinc inhibits bacterial cell wall formation, enhancing the antibacterial efficacy of the combination. The powder form allows for easy application to areas prone to moisture accumulation, friction, or oozing wounds, keeping the area dry while reducing bacterial colonization.

Neotracin Powder is ideal for minor wounds, surgical sites, or skin surfaces prone to infection, providing both protective and therapeutic benefits. Its dry formulation also helps in controlling moisture, which can promote faster healing and prevent maceration.
