Product Description: Baneocin is a combination of antibiotics exclusively for external use that contains bacitracin and neomycin, blood antibacterials with a strong local activity. The combination of the two antibiotics allows to obtain a broad antibacterial spectrum that does not include Pseudomonas, Nocardia, fungi and viruses. Bacitracin and neomycin are not normally administered systemically. Local applications with Baneocin powder or ointment substantially reduce the risk of sensitization to systemic antibiotics. Baneocin is well tolerated. Tissue tolerance is excellent and the drug is not inactivated by secretions or blood components of its tissues. If the drug is applied to large lesions, the potential absorption of the drug as well as its consequences must be considered How To Use: Apply a thin layer of powder or ointment to the wound, possibly covered with a bandage. Dosage: Generally 2-4 applications with Baneocin-powder per day, both in adults and children. In patients with burns covering more than 20% of the body surface, Baneocin will be applied only once a day (particularly in patients with reduced renal function), as the active substances can be absorbed. In the case of a local treatment it is recommended not to exceed a dose of 1 g of neomycin per day (corresponding to 200 g of Baneocin powder or ointment) for 7 days. If repeated, the dose will be halved. Warnings & cautions: Known hypersensitivity to bacitracin and / or neomycin or to other aminoglycoside antibiotics. Baneocin should not be used in severe extensive skin lesions as absorption of the drug may cause ototoxicity to hearing loss. If uncontrolled absorption is possible, Baneocin should not be used in patients with severe excretory disorders of cardiac or renal origin or in those with vestibular and / or cochlear lesions. In case of perforated eardrum, do not apply Baneocin in the external auditory canal. Do not apply Baneocin to the ocular mucosa. Pregnancy and breast-feeding: In case of possible resorption, Baneocin should be used with caution; neomycin, like all aminoglycoside antibiotics, crosses the placenta. Ingredients: Baneocin powder: 1 g contains: Bacitracin zinc: 250 IU. Neomycin sulfate: 5000 IU (5 mg).
