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.
