Mode Of Action

This cream is a combination of Neomycin, Polymyxin B and Pramoxine HCl. Neomycin is bactericidal for many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. It is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits protein synthesis by binding with ribosomal RNA and causing misreading of the bacterial genetic code. Polymyxin B is bactericidal for a variety of gram-negative organisms. It increases the permeability of the bacterial cell membrane by interacting with the phospholipids components of the membrane. Pramoxine is an external analgesic that provides temporary relief of pain or discomfort.
