Description

Bacitracin Zinc Ointment, 15 oz. jar, is a topical antibiotic used to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. It contains bacitracin zinc, an antibiotic that inhibits bacterial growth by interfering with cell wall synthesis. The ointment provides a protective barrier, keeping wounds moist and reducing the risk of contamination.

This formulation is free from neomycin and other additional antibiotics, making it suitable for individuals with sensitivities to combination antibiotic ointments. It is designed for external use only and should be applied in a thin layer to the affected area. The ointment is commonly used in first aid treatments and clinical settings to support the natural healing process.

Bacitracin Zinc Ointment is effective against a range of gram-positive bacteria, including Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. It is not intended for use on deep wounds, punctures, or serious burns. Regular application as directed helps minimize the risk of infection while promoting optimal wound healing.
