This combination is used for inflammatory skin conditions with secondary bacterial infection, such as infected eczema, dermatitis with bacterial overgrowth, minor infected wounds, and skin irritations where both inflammation and bacterial control are needed.
Bacitracin provides antibacterial activity by inhibiting bacterial cell wall synthesis, while tixocortol delivers anti-inflammatory effects by suppressing the immune response and reducing swelling, redness, and itching at the application site.
For topical use only; avoid application to large body areas, broken skin, or near eyes. Prolonged use should be avoided to prevent skin atrophy and potential antibiotic resistance. Not typically recommended for use in children, during pregnancy, or for extended periods without medical supervision.
