T-Bact Ointment 15 gm

Product Introduction

T-Bact Ointment 15 gm is a topical antimicrobial preparation used primarily to treat bacterial skin infections. This ointment combines two potent ingredients, Bacitracin and Neomycin, which work synergistically to combat a broad spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria. Bacitracin inhibits bacterial cell wall synthesis, while Neomycin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, impairs bacterial protein synthesis. This combination enhances the ointment’s effectiveness in treating and preventing infections.

The ointment is packaged in a 15-gram tube, making it convenient for use on localized skin infections. It is typically applied directly to the affected area and is indicated for external use only.
