Treatment of minor skin infections including cuts, scrapes, burns, and abrasions; prevention of infection in minor wounds; relief of pain and discomfort associated with skin irritations
Bacitracin and neomycin work together to inhibit bacterial growth by disrupting protein synthesis and cell wall integrity, while diperodon provides local anesthetic effects by blocking nerve signals at the application site, reducing pain and itching.
For external use only; avoid applying to large areas of skin or deep wounds; prolonged use may lead to antibiotic resistance or hypersensitivity reactions; discontinue use if rash, irritation, or signs of systemic absorption occur; not recommended for use during pregnancy without medical advice.
