Neomycin Sulphate + Polymyxin B Sulphate + Pramoxine
Generic MedicinePharmacology
This cream is a combination of Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Pramoxine HCl. Neomycin is bactericidal against many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by binding to bacterial ribosomal RNA, leading to misreading of the genetic code and bacterial death. Polymyxin B is bactericidal against various gram-negative bacteria. It increases bacterial cell membrane permeability by interacting with phospholipid components, causing leakage of cellular contents. Pramoxine is a topical local anesthetic that provides temporary relief of pain and discomfort by reducing nerve signal transmission in the skin.
