What is the use of neomycin and bacitracin?
Neomycin and Bacitracin are antibiotics drugs that are usually applied to the skin to treat bacterial infections. While the most common use of these drugs is current use, neomycin may also be available in a pill that decreases during surgery to reduce the possibility of infection. Mature ointment can also be prescribed by optometry for application to the eye to treat infections in this area. Patients should discuss the correct application with a doctor or pharmacist before using neomycin and bacitracin. Patients should cleanse the affected area of the skin and apply a small amount of ointment. The smallest amount should be used, because if too much the drug is absorbed into the body, it can affect hearing and cause kidney problems. Patients taking neomycin orally in a pill or liquid form should consume every dose with a full glass of water.
Bacitracin should be applied in the same way as local neomycin but usually used one to three times a dayE. Patients may also cover the affected skin with a sterile dressing after each dose. When the ointment is used for the eye, the patient should gently pull the lower lid down with your finger and push the prescribed quantity into this area. The eyes should be closed for two minutes to allow the drug to distribute evenly, and patients should wash their hands before and after each application.
Neomycin and Bacitracin can cause some side effects that should be reported to the prescription if they become serious. Oral neomycin can sometimes cause nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. Patients using bacitracin for eye infection can experience temporary blurred vision.
More serious side effects should be reported immediately by a physician such as decreased urination, rash and irritation or burning skin after nestycin dose. Those who use this medicine can experience dizziness, severe diarrhea and hearing problems. Bacitracin applied to the skin can rarely result in secondary skin infection and maST applied to the eye can rarely cause impaired eye pain, eyelid swelling and unusual changes in sight.
Before using neomycin and bacitracin to treat bacterial infection, patients should publish their further health, medicines and supplements. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should discuss the risks with their doctors. Neomycin can be contraindicated for use by those who have bowel disease, kidney disease or neuromuscular disorder. Patients should discuss whether they use any medicines that can affect the kidneys.
