Polysporin Ointment 15G is a widely recognized and trusted over-the-counter topical antibiotic ointment designed to help prevent infection and accelerate the healing of minor wounds. It typically comes in a small, portable tube containing 15 grams of the ointment.
The effectiveness of Polysporin stems from its combination of active antibiotic ingredients. While different formulations exist (e.g., “Original,” “Triple,” “Complete”), a common blend includes:
- Polymyxin B Sulfate: An antibiotic effective against a range of Gram-negative bacteria.
- Bacitracin Zinc: An antibiotic primarily effective against Gram-positive bacteria.
- Some formulations, like “Polysporin Triple” or “Polysporin Complete,” may also include Gramicidin (another antibiotic) and/or Lidocaine (a topical anesthetic for pain relief).
These active ingredients work synergistically to inhibit the growth of bacteria that can cause wound infections. The ointment itself forms a protective, soothing layer over the affected area, which helps to keep the wound moist. This moist environment is crucial for promoting faster healing and can also help to minimize the appearance of scars.
Polysporin Ointment is generally non-stinging and odorless, making it suitable for application on sensitive skin and for use on children (with adult supervision for those aged 2-12 years). It is part of the “HEAL-FAST® Formula” line, indicating its aim to speed up the natural healing process.
