Description

The Dynarex Triple Antibiotic Ointment is a powerful first-aid essential designed to prevent infection in minor cuts, scrapes, and burns. This clinical-strength formula combines three proven antibiotics to provide broad-spectrum protection against a wide range of bacteria, promoting faster healing and skin recovery.

Active Ingredients & Potency

Each gram of this topical ointment contains a precise formulation of high-potency antibiotics:

  • Bacitracin Zinc (400 Units): Targets Gram-positive bacteria to inhibit cell wall synthesis.

  • Neomycin Sulfate (5 mg / 3.5 mg base): A potent aminoglycoside that prevents bacterial protein synthesis.

  • Polymyxin B Sulfate (5,000 Units): Effectively disrupts the cell membranes of Gram-negative organisms.

Key Product Benefits

  • Broad-Spectrum Defense: Triple-action formula provides more comprehensive coverage than single-antibiotic ointments.

  • Infection Prevention: Significantly reduces the risk of localized skin infections in minor wounds.

  • Optimal Healing Environment: The petrolatum-based ointment base helps keep the wound moist, which is clinically proven to reduce scarring and accelerate tissue repair.

  • Convenient Sizing: The 0.5 oz. (14.2 g) tube is perfectly sized for first-aid kits, travel bags, and point-of-care stations.

  • Tamper-Evident: Packaged in a secure tube to ensure product integrity and sterility until first use.
