Description

Curad Bacitracin Ointment with Zinc, 0.9 g foil packet, is a topical antibiotic formulated to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. The active ingredient, Bacitracin Zinc (500 units per gram), is an antibacterial agent that inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, preventing the growth and spread of susceptible bacteria. This single-antibiotic formulation is used in wound care management to reduce the risk of infections caused by gram-positive organisms.

The ointment contains mineral oil and petrolatum as inactive ingredients, providing a protective barrier that helps maintain moisture at the wound site. This moisturizing effect supports faster wound healing by preventing scabbing and drying, which can slow recovery. The petrolatum base also creates an occlusive layer, shielding the affected area from external contaminants and reducing irritation.

Each 0.9 g foil packet is designed for single-use application, ensuring hygienic and controlled dosing. The compact packaging is ideal for first aid kits, hospitals, clinics, and travel use. The product is applied in a thin layer over the affected area and may be covered with a sterile bandage to enhance protection and absorption.
