TOP 6 most inexpensive analogues and substitutes for the drug Baneocin®

Today, the drug Baneocin is one of the most common drugs for the treatment of bacterial skin diseases.

It is used in many branches of medicine to treat skin diseases, burns, purulent wounds in adults, and is also successfully used to treat children.

What kind of drug is this and what are its indications and contraindications? About this in this article.

Baneocin: instructions

Baneocin is an antibacterial agent that is available in two forms: powder and ointment

.

Baneocin ointment is packaged in a tube and sold in a volume of 20 g

.
Baneocin powder is stored in plastic jars with a small tight-fitting lid and a hole for administering the medicine. The powder in the pharmacy can only be found weighing 10 g
, but, as practice shows, such a volume is quite economical.

In what cases is the use of Baneocin indicated?

The scope of application of this drug is quite extensive. "Baneocin" (powder) instructions for use recommends use for superficial lesions of small areas of skin caused by microorganisms sensitive to the medication. This may include secondary bacterial lesions that occur with ulcers, eczema, herpetic infections, chicken pox, and infection of wounds that appear with varicose veins. In addition, this antibacterial agent is effective for superficial infections of the skin (piercing of the earlobes, skin transplantation, etc.), in the treatment of post-traumatic infections and infections that have penetrated the skin due to burns.

The drug is also widely used in surgery as a component of complex therapy during the postoperative period (including during episiotomy - dissection of the perineum and posterior vaginal wall during difficult childbirth), mastitis during drainage.

Children are also often prescribed treatment with the drug “Baneocin” (powder). Instructions for use for newborn babies recommend this drug for the treatment of bacterial diaper dermatitis and for the prevention of omphalitis (umbilical infection). It will also be quite effective for chickenpox, weeping impetigo, and for the prevention of umbilical hernia.

In addition, the drug "Baneocin" (powder) instructions for use for older children recommends use for diseases such as carbuncles, boils, hidradenitis suppurativa, paronychia (inflammation of the periungual fold). A good effect can be achieved when treating secondary skin bacterial infections (cuts, abrasions, dermatoses, burns). In patients of all age categories, Baneocin is used only on the affected areas of the skin.

In some cases, it is permissible to use a bandage. For example, if “Baneocin” (powder) for newborn babies is used to treat a poorly healing umbilical wound, it is quite acceptable to apply a loose bandage to the child’s tummy.

Baneocin powder will be an excellent replacement for brilliant green (the effectiveness of which is much lower) in the treatment of chickenpox. Weeping blisters are sprinkled with powder twice a day until a crust forms. In addition to the bactericidal effect, the drug relieves itching and thus prevents children from scratching the blisters.

Another area in which this drug proves to be very effective is cosmetology. A variety of inflammatory rashes on the face (especially of a purulent nature), acne lose in the fight against the drug "Baneocin". Using powder for acne and other skin problems is quite problematic. But the ointment will successfully cope with any rashes on the face.

Baneocin for acne.

In case of bacterial acne on the face, back and chest, the drug can be applied pointwise.

You can use both powder and ointment.

Dermatologists advise following the following algorithm of actions:

1. Clean your face with gel, wipe your skin with an aqueous solution of chlorhexidine.
2. Carry out mechanical cleaning of “ripe” purulent pimples.
3. Disinfect the skin with chlorhexidine and apply Baneocin ointment or powder overnight.

Thanks to its antibacterial and healing properties, the drug will help quickly get your skin in order.

However, if the skin lesions are extensive, you should consult a specialist for qualified help, and not use only Baneocin for acne.

Otolaryngology

How to use: dosage, frequency of application

The ointment is used to treat affected surfaces on average 2-4 times a day . If necessary, you can apply a bandage to the sore spot.

The dosage is determined as follows : when applying the product in the thinnest possible layer, the surface treated can be 1 percent (no more, since exceeding this figure is no longer safe) of the child’s body surface.

Experts advise focusing on the size of the palm, which usually corresponds to these parameters and constitutes exactly 1 percent of the patient’s total skin.

The daily dose of the drug used should not exceed 1 g of the active substance, and the course of treatment should not exceed weeks.

If necessary, the doctor can extend it, but the dosage of the drug is usually halved.

What does Baneocin ointment help for children? If the purpose of the procedures is to speed up the healing process , which proceeds normally normally, the treatment is done 2 times a day. If there is suppuration or the wound is weeping - 5 times.

The result is usually achieved within 3-5 days of using the drug in the first case and within 7-10 days in case of suppuration.

When Baneocin is used to treat wounds, damage to the ear or nose , the ointment is applied to a turunda (a narrow gauze or cotton swab), inserted into the damaged cavity, changing the swab after 8-12 hours.

The doctor decides how long this treatment will take, based on the complexity of the problem and the patient’s health condition.

Ointment against pustular rashes on the skin of the face is applied pointwise, 1 time per day (it is convenient to do this before bedtime).

The result can be achieved in 2-3 days. In difficult situations, the maximum period of use of the drug is 2 weeks.

The umbilical wound of babies is treated 2-3 times during the day, diaper rash - 1 time, after bathing.

treatment of abrasions with the use of Baneocin in powder form - it better promotes the formation of a crust on the surface of the wound.

This is done 3-4 times a day for 2-3 days, then they begin to use the ointment (2-3 times a day).

This method of treatment (until the abrasion is completely healed) makes it impossible for a bacterial infection to penetrate into it and worsen the patient’s condition.

Components of the drug

When figuring out why Baneocin powder is supplied to pharmacies, it is necessary to add a few words about the bactericidal properties of the said drug.

Baneocin powder contains two main active components. These are "bacitracin" and "neomycin" (in their original Latin transcription). The first effectively fights a number of harmful microorganisms; it is used for diseases of the skin, external respiratory organs, and also the visual system. The second is an “antibacterial” from the aminoglycoside group, used to treat ulcerative formations on the skin, burned or frostbitten areas of the epidermis.

A gram of Baneocin includes:

NEOMYCIN SULFATE	5 milligrams
BUCITRACIN ZINC	0.25 milligrams

In addition, there are additional components: a powder base that has undergone sterilization, and an opaque corn paste that contains up to 2 percent burnt magnesia (MgO).

In other words, Baneocin is used for inflammation and other types of external skin irritation. That is, the key area where Baneocin is used is dermatology, although it is also mentioned in other “areas” of medicine.

A large Austrian pharmaceutical concern called Biochemi is responsible for the release of this drug.

The instructions recommend using “Baneocin” (powder) for acne, and here consumer reviews are mostly positive. The drug quickly and without consequences solves this problem. Although there is a small percentage of consumers who responded negatively to the medication from the point of view that “Baneocin” (we are mainly talking about ointment) dries the skin and can cause itching. However, the effectiveness and speed of the medication brightens up such minor troubles.

A lot of positive feedback from consumers is received regarding the treatment of burned skin surfaces. Not only are burns accompanied by severe pain, but the burned surface is practically an open gate for infection, which will not fail to join immediately. The use of Baneocin for surface treatment in such cases is painless, without any unpleasant sensations, and, as a rule, is well tolerated.

Cost and analogues

Cases of appointment

What is the drug prescribed for for adults and children? Baneocin is prescribed for many skin lesions that are accompanied by infection. The main indications are the following conditions:

• ulcers, pustules with chickenpox;
• diaper rash;
• bacterial diaper dermatitis;
• ulcers (boils, carbuncles);
• burns;
• hidradenitis;
• weeping eczema;
• used to prevent the development of umbilical infection in newborns.

Symptoms of diaper rash include red spots, rashes, and peeling. Diaper rash can occur due to constant contact with a diaper or tight clothing. Often under the diaper a favorable environment is created for the growth of bacteria that affect the skin. The cause may be skin diseases such as dermatitis, allergies to dust, cosmetics, and washing powder. There are other reasons for diaper rash, for example, excess weight, poor diet, and lack of proper hygiene.

Baneocin relieves itching and inflammation caused by diathesis. Sprinkle the powder over the affected area and leave for an hour. At this time, you need to make sure that the baby does not touch the place. In case of a large affected area, the powder is used once a day.

Infants do not have a fully developed thermoregulation system, so they often sweat. Excess sweat on the body creates pockets of inflammation. Diaper dermatitis may develop. The disease is also treated with Baneocin powder. Recovery usually occurs by the end of the week of using the medicine.

Every second child suffers from chickenpox. The disease is accompanied by rashes all over the body, which itch, hurt and bring a lot of discomfort. Baneocin treats blisters, relieves inflammation, stops the proliferation of bacteria, heals wounds, and relieves unpleasant symptoms.

What does it help with?

Many people are interested in how to use Baneocin and what it helps with.

The medicine has a very wide range of uses:

• The ointment is used for bacterial skin lesions, purulent inflammation of the apocrine sweat glands, periungual fold, hair follicle, abscess, carbuncle, streptoderma, boils and other purulent infections.
• The drug is used to prevent abscesses, rashes, cuts, suppuration of wounds and other skin injuries. For example, the drug in crumbly form is used to treat punctures of the navels, noses, and ears.
• In addition, in this form it can be used for angular cheilitis, burns and for the treatment of chicken rash.
• Otolaryngologists prescribe the drug after sinus surgery, for inflammation of the mucous membrane, sinuses or paranasal cavity and inflammation of the external ear.
• In the surgical field, the product is used to protect sutures from bacterial infection after surgery.
• Gynecologists prescribe medicine after childbirth to care for sutures and cracked nipples during breastfeeding.

Pharmacodynamics and pharmacokinetics

Baneocin is an antimicrobial combination remedy used exclusively for topical (local) use and includes two antibacterial drugs, characterized by their pronounced bactericidal effect.

Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits the synthesis of bacterial proteins. The activity of this antibacterial agent is manifested against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacterial microorganisms.

Bacitracin belongs to the group of polypeptide antibiotics that inhibit the replication processes of the bacterial cell membrane. The main antibacterial effect of this drug is observed against gram-positive microorganisms representing the genus Staphylococcus and Streptococcus, as well as against some gram-negative bacteria (resistance to bacitracin develops very rarely).

The synergism (combined effect) of these two antibacterial drugs leads to a significant increase in the therapeutic spectrum of action of bacitracin and an increase in its effectiveness against a number of microorganisms, in particular staphylococci.

When using the drug locally, absorption of its active ingredients, as a rule, is not observed (even when applied to damaged skin). However, at the time of therapy, their high concentration is detected in the skin.

This drug is characterized by good tissue tolerance, and therefore its use on large skin areas may cause systemic absorption.

pharmachologic effect

Combined antibacterial drug for local use. Contains two antibiotics that have a bactericidal effect, neomycin and bacitracin.

Bacitracin

is a polypeptide antibiotic that inhibits the synthesis of bacterial cell walls.
Particularly active against
gram-positive (Streptococcus spp. /including beta-hemolytic streptococcus/, Staphylococcus spp.) and some gram-negative microorganisms. Resistance to bacitracin rarely develops.

Neomycin

is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that inhibits bacterial protein synthesis.
Active against
gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

Thanks to the use of a combination of these two antibiotics, a wide spectrum of action of the drug and synergistic action against a number of microorganisms, for example, staphylococci, are achieved.

Pharmacokinetics

The active substances, as a rule, are not absorbed (even by damaged skin), however, their high concentrations are present in the skin. Has excellent tissue tolerance; inactivation by biological products, blood and tissue components is not observed.

When applying the drug to large areas of skin lesions, the possibility of systemic absorption of the drug should be taken into account.

Indications

Infectious and inflammatory skin diseases caused by microorganisms sensitive to the drug:

- bacterial skin infections of limited prevalence, incl. weeping contagious impetigo, infected trophic ulcers of the lower extremities, infected eczema, bacterial diaper dermatitis, secondary bacterial infection in diseases caused by Herpes simplex, Varicella zoster (including chickenpox);

— prevention of umbilical infection in newborns;

- prevention of infection after surgical (dermatological) procedures: for additional treatment in the postoperative period (after tissue excision, cauterization, episiotomy, treatment of cracks, weeping wounds and sutures).

Dosage regimen

The drug is applied in a thin layer to the affected areas 2-4 times a day.

For burns of more than 20% of the body surface

the powder should be used no more than 1 time/day, especially in case of decreased kidney function (since absorption of the active ingredient is possible).

When applied topically, the dose of neomycin should not exceed 1 g/day (corresponding to 200 g of powder) for 7 days. When repeating the course, the maximum dose is no more than 100 g.

Side effect

Allergic reactions:

with prolonged use - redness, dry skin, skin rash, itching. Basically, allergic reactions occur as contact eczema (in 50% of cases they are associated with cross-allergy to other aminoglycosides) and are rare.

Systemic effects:

in case of extensive lesions of the skin, the possibility of absorption of the drug and the development of oto- and nephrotoxic effects and neuromuscular conduction disorders should be taken into account.

When applied topically to the skin, mucous membranes and wound surfaces, the drug is usually well tolerated.

Contraindications for use

- extensive skin lesions (risk of developing an ototoxic effect accompanied by hearing loss);

- severe impairment of renal excretory function (due to heart or renal failure);

- existing diseases of the cochleo-vestibular apparatus (if systemic absorption of the drug is possible);

- hypersensitivity to bacitracin, neomycin or other aminoglycosides.

Overdose

Currently, no cases of overdose of the drug Baneocin ® have been reported.

Drug interactions

If systemic absorption occurs, then with the simultaneous administration of cephalosporins or aminoglycoside antibiotics, the risk of developing nephrotoxic reactions increases.

When Baneocin is used simultaneously with ethacrynic acid or furosemide, the risk of developing oto- and nephrotoxic reactions increases.

In case of systemic absorption with simultaneous use of Baneocin with opioid analgesics, anesthetics and muscle relaxants, the risk of developing neuromuscular blockade increases.

There have been no cases of incompatibility between bacitracin and neomycin.

Conditions for dispensing from pharmacies

Use for renal impairment

Since the risk of toxic effects increases with decreased renal function, blood and urine tests together with audiometry should be performed in patients with renal failure before and during therapy with Baneocin ® .

The drug is contraindicated for use in cases of severe renal impairment (due to heart or renal failure).

special instructions

Avoid contact of the drug with the eyes.

When used in doses significantly higher than recommended, due to possible absorption, attention should be paid to symptoms indicating nephro- or ototoxic reactions.

Since the risk of toxic effects increases with decreased liver and/or kidney function, blood and urine tests together with audiometry should be performed in patients with hepatic and/or renal insufficiency before and during therapy with Baneocin ® .

If absorption is possible (extensive damage to the integrity of the skin), it is necessary to monitor the possible appearance of signs of neuromuscular blockade, especially in patients with acidosis, myasthenia gravis or other neuromuscular diseases. If neuromuscular blockade develops, calcium supplements or neostigmine are indicated.

With long-term use of the drug, it is necessary to monitor the possible excessive growth of resistant microorganisms. If necessary, appropriate treatment should be prescribed.

If the drug is used in children, patients with impaired liver and kidney function, as well as with a large surface area to be treated, long-term use and deep skin lesions, you should first consult a doctor.

If allergic reactions and superinfection develop, the drug should be discontinued.

The cost of advertised medications sometimes seems unreasonably high. For this reason, many try to use generics rather than original products. However, not all drugs have analogues. For example, Baneocin is an ointment, analogues of which cannot be purchased, since they do not exist. There are many other antibacterial ointments, but they differ from Baneocin.

Original or generic?

A generic is an analogue of a drug that differs from the original only in name. Drug developers patent drug names. These are the very names that are talked about in advertising - sonorous, memorable and evoking exclusively positive associations. As for the technology for the production of innovative medicines, it is also patented, but patent protection is valid only for a certain period. After this, any company that has the ability to produce drugs using new technology can enter the market with analogues of the original drug under a new name.

The main advantage of generics is their low cost. Manufacturers do not spend money on developing and testing the drug, and advertising costs are usually also quite low. Accordingly, generics are much cheaper than their famous brothers - original drugs.

As for the quality of such drugs, everything is somewhat more complicated. In theory, such drugs should not be inferior to the original ones. In practice, companies that produce generics save on drug testing and evidence of their clinical effectiveness. It is believed that if the drug is made from the same raw materials as the original and using the same technology, its quality will be the same. However, there are pitfalls here too.

Since saving on everything is the motto of generic drug manufacturers, sometimes raw materials of poor quality, for example, insufficiently purified, are used to produce drugs. The technology can also be simplified, which ultimately reduces the effectiveness of the drugs.

Therefore, buying generics is always a risk. And while purchasing time-tested, inexpensive drugs may be justified, new products from generic manufacturers are not always as effective as original drugs. In addition, these medications often cause more serious side effects, which can be dangerous for those suffering from certain diseases.

Baneocin's analogs

Baneocin ointment contains two active ingredients - the antibiotics bacitracin and neomycin, which mutually enhance their effectiveness. This provides a wide spectrum of action of the product, which is effective against a wide variety of microorganisms. An ointment with this name is produced by different manufacturers in different countries. The same ingredients and the same technology are used. The release form and cost of drugs from different manufacturers also do not differ.

As for structural analogues, that is, drugs similar in composition to Baneocin ointment, they do not exist on the market today. To some extent, the product can be replaced by other antibiotic ointments, which are also effective against bacterial infections. However, such products cannot be considered analogues of Baneocin, since they contain other active ingredients and have a slightly different effect.

There are many resources on the Internet offering to find cheap analogues of expensive drugs. Unfortunately, sometimes the proposed substitutes have little in common with known drugs. This is exactly the situation with Baneocin ointment - ointments containing completely different types of antibiotics are offered as analogues. And although such drugs can also be effective against bacterial infections, they may have other contraindications and other side effects.

Therefore, if Baneocin is prescribed by a doctor, taking into account the specific situation and individual characteristics of the patient (including intolerance to certain antibiotics), then it is better not to waste time looking for analogues, but to buy the original drug. In other cases, for example, if you plan to buy Baneocin simply for prophylaxis, you can look for drugs with antibacterial effects at lower prices.

Antibiotic ointments

There are many preparations for local treatment containing antibiotic components on the market. In most cases, such drugs are effective only against certain types of microorganisms. This must be taken into account when purchasing. The most famous antibacterial ointments:

• Altargo ointment is available in small (five milligram) tubes. The active ingredient is retapamulin. The ointment is used to treat and prevent secondary infection of minor skin injuries (cuts, scratches, abrasions), dermatitis and secondary infected dermatoses. Unlike Baneocin ointment, the product is not suitable for children under nine months. It is also contraindicated for pregnant and lactating women;
• Bonderm (or Bactroban) ointment should not be used in case of renal failure. In addition, this drug is contraindicated in children under three years of age. The active ingredient is mupirocin. Used to treat wounds, minor skin lesions, burns, folliculitis, furunculosis, secondary infections;
• Levomycetin ointment (Levomekol) contains chloramphenicol and methyluracil. It is an antibacterial agent effective against many microorganisms. At the same time, Levomekol can be addictive, and with more or less long-term treatment it becomes less effective. Among the contraindications are hypersensitivity to chloramphenicol, periods of pregnancy and lactation;
• Tyrosur contains tyrothricin. The ointment stops infectious and inflammatory processes on the skin. The drug is not prescribed to pregnant women due to the lack of data on the danger to the fetus.

• The cheapest analogue of Baneocin:
• The most popular analogue of Baneocin:

For children

With careful external use, Baneocin has the same effect on adults and children, so the instructions do not prohibit the use of the ointment in patients under 18 years of age, however, each case of its use must be discussed with a specialist. It is advisable to select the dosage with your doctor, based on the degree of skin damage

Indications for the use of ointment in children are similar to those given for adults.

Baneocin for newborns

For the youngest children, a doctor can prescribe Baneocin for the treatment of diaper dermatitis, but only if there is a complication in the form of a bacterial infection (which was provoked by the activity of gram-positive microorganisms). After cleansing, the surface of the skin is treated with ointment (powder may be prescribed) once a day, but if the situation is severe and the baby tolerates the antibiotic well, the frequency of use can be increased to 2 times a day. The duration of treatment will be determined by the doctor, dosages can also be adjusted.

If the baby gets burned

It is not always possible to protect your baby from burns. Few people in childhood were able to avoid such a fate. Hot water, a hot iron, hot hair tongs, a burning burner - out of curiosity or by accident, a baby can stick his hand anywhere.

Skin damaged due to a burn not only causes severe pain, but also becomes vulnerable to various infections. This is why burns can take a very, very long time to heal. If infection occurs, this can lead not only to a deepening of the burn itself, but also to a deterioration in the baby’s well-being.

Baneocin copes with the healing of mild and serious burns - from 1 to 3 degrees, regardless of the area of ​​damage. In children, mild burns most often occur - 1st and 2nd degree. In the first case, the child feels pain and redness appears on the skin, in the second, the appearance of a bubble with liquid inside is added to the listed symptoms. Under no circumstances should you pierce it - the liquid inside prevents skin infection.

Such burns are not considered dangerous and do not require hospital treatment; they can be treated at home. Baneocin is an excellent first aid remedy; they need to treat the burn site as quickly as possible. Unlike brilliant green or iodine, the product does not cause pain when applied.

Next, the burn is treated 2 times a day for at least 1 week until it heals. The use of Baneocin not only accelerates skin restoration, but also prevents infection of the burn wound.

In rare cases, an allergic reaction, redness, itching or dry skin may occur.

Application

Medical experts advise checking your skin for allergic reactions. To do this, you need to distribute a small amount of ointment on a small area of ​​skin. Then wait a little. If there is no irritation, rashes, or burning, Baneocin can be used.

It is recommended to use the ointment for adults and children 3 times daily until complete recovery. When using antibacterial powder, apply to the affected area no more than 2 times a day.

Use a gauze bandage soaked in the substance for medicinal purposes.

For sunburn, the ointment is distributed over the injured area three times throughout the day. For light burns (no more than 5 cm), one application is sufficient. If your face is damaged, avoid contact with eyes.

Baneocin ointment instructions for use

The name of the Swiss drug is composed of parts of the names of the active substances: the bactericidal antibiotics bacitracin and neomycin, so Baneocin ointment is a combined antibacterial drug that is used to prevent infection or combat pathogenic microorganisms that have already begun to be active.

The composition of the ointment looks like this:

Active components (per 1 g)	Auxiliary components
Bacitracin Zinc (250 IU)	Lanolin
Neomycin sulfate (5000 IU)	Soft white paraffin

pharmachologic effect

Baneocin has a pronounced antibacterial effect and is bactericidal due to the antibiotics in its base. They are selected to enhance each other, which gives a more pronounced therapeutic effect, especially when affecting some gram-positive pathogens (mainly staphylococci). Absorption of the drug is minimal and occurs in the upper layers of the skin.

Each component of Baneocin has its own principle of action:

• Bacitracin is necessary to inhibit the synthesis of bacterial cell walls; it is one of the particularly effective antibiotics of the polypeptide group, since there are few bacteria that are resistant to it. According to experts, bacitracin is active against gram-positive microorganisms (streptococcus, staphylococcus).
• Neomycin has the property of blocking protein synthesis in bacterial pathogens and is one of the glycoside antibiotics. Neomycin works equally well against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.

What is Baneocin ointment used for?

The antibacterial effect of this drug can be used for both therapeutic and prophylactic purposes. Doctors often prescribe Baneocin ointment for bacterial infections caused by the activity of gram-positive microorganisms and having a limited affected area. The official instructions also mention the use of Baneocin for:

• secondary infections due to dermatosis, burns or other skin injuries;
• secondary eczema;
• ulcerative skin lesions;
• skin transplantation (in cosmetic surgery);
• infections accompanying external otitis or rhinitis;

Properties of the drug Baneocin and its composition

The main components of the drug are bacitracin zinc and neomycin. The powder is used for local treatment of open wound surfaces and healing.

Effect of the drug Baneocin:

1. Bacitracin zinc is a polypeptide antibiotic. Active against gram-positive bacteria. Suppresses staphylococcus, streptococcus, clostridia, treponema, corynebacteria. The powder affects some gram-negative microorganisms, including actinomycetes and fusobacteria. Resistance to bacitracin is rare.
2. Neomycin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic that promotes healing. It has a bactericidal effect and destroys the bacterial cell. Aggressive against the vast majority of microorganisms. Resistance practically does not develop.

Active substances enhance each other. This promotes healing of the damaged surface.

When treating a wound, the absorption of Baneocin is minimal - it does not have a systemic effect on the body. The use of a dosage form for local application prevents the development of system-wide side effects and addiction to the drug.

Action of the product

Thanks to its two main components, baneocin has an antibacterial effect and effectively fights harmful bacteria that have entered the wound.
The action of the antibiotic bacitracin is to suppress the synthesis of bacterial cell walls, and neomycin is to suppress the synthesis of bacterial proteins. Using this product you can cope with certain types of microorganisms:

• Gram-positive bacteria, which include various streptococci, staphylococci, clostridia, Treponema pallidum, Corynebacterium diphtheria, anthrax bacilli, Listeria.
• Gram-negative bacteria, including Neisseria, gonorrhea pathogens, Haemophilus influenzae, Proteus, Fusobacteria, Clepsiella, Enterobacteriaceae, Shigella, Salmonella, Escherichia coli, Vibrio cholerae, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Leptospira, Borrelia.
• Fungi called actinomycetes.

Of course, an important advantage of baneocin is that it is not addictive and persistent antibodies are formed to the antibiotics contained in its composition. Due to this, the drug never loses its antiseptic qualities and continues to effectively fight the source of inflammation.

Instructions for use of powder

It is necessary to apply the drug after bathing.
When using Baneocin, it is important to remember: you should not allow the dosage to increase and treat the wound more often than the doctor advised. Usually an individual treatment regimen is selected

Standard instructions:

1. The drug is applied after taking a bath or wiping the baby with sanitary napkins.
2. First, you need to drip hydrogen peroxide onto the wound, and also apply it to all suspicious places in the navel.
3. When the peroxide stops fizzing, remove the residue with a sterile cotton swab.
4. If there are crusts on the wound, wait until they soften under the influence of peroxide. Remove the crusts with a sterile napkin or cotton swabs.
5. Clean the skin by slightly stretching the hole, but without rubbing.
6. Dry the umbilical area with a sterile cloth again.
7. Apply the powder in a thin layer to the damaged area.

When using powder, you can follow the rule: the medicine should not cover an area larger than the baby’s palm. This is approximately 1% of the patient's total body size.

Contraindications

Like any modern medicine, there are contraindications for the use of the drug “Baneocin” (powder). Its use is unacceptable if the patient has hypersensitivity to any of its components or to antibiotics from the aminoglycoside group. Do not use it for lesions of large areas of skin, because in such cases, resorption (absorption) and the development of an ototoxic effect are possible.

A sufficient reason for refusing to use the antibiotic “Baneocin” is the presence of severe abnormalities in the field of cardiology, nephrology, and excretory disorders. The drug is not prescribed to those patients who have abnormalities in the functioning of the cochlear and vestibular systems. If there is a possibility of developing an uncontrolled absorption process of the antibiotic, the instructions also do not recommend using “Baneocin” (powder).

It is unacceptable to administer the drug into the ear canal in cases where the integrity of the eardrum is damaged. Also, Baneocin should not be applied to the skin around the eyes. Pregnancy, lactation, and various types of eye infections are contraindications for the use of this drug.

With great precautions, Baneocin ointment and powder are prescribed to patients with acidosis, suffering from myasthenia gravis or any other abnormalities in the functioning of the nervous and muscular systems. These conditions are considered relative contraindications, since the use of Baneocin is in principle permissible, but under strict patient monitoring of their well-being

If the health condition worsens, the drug is immediately discontinued.

Contraindications and side effects

The use of this drug is contraindicated in the following cases:

• a young patient has an allergy or individual intolerance to the components included in the drug;
• The child was found to have vestibular disorders;
• for any diseases of the inner ear;
• with mechanical damage to the eardrum;
• if the burn or infection occupies large areas of the skin;
• if the child suffers from infectious eye diseases;
• if pronounced kidney pathologies are diagnosed.

In case of individual intolerance to the components of the drug, side effects are observed in the form of redness and inflammation of the skin at the sites of use. Itching, peeling, and rash may also occur.

If the components of the drug enter the blood, which can happen when treating large areas of skin burns, nephrotoxic and ototoxic effects may occur, expressed in damage to the kidneys, hearing and vestibular apparatus. Cases of overdose with topical use of this drug have not been reported to date.

When using the medicine, you must consult a doctor and strictly follow the instructions for use.

Features of use

The instructions for using Baneocin powder for newborns state that the composition must be applied to the skin locally. The powder can also be used to treat infants. After completion of application, an additional bandage should be placed on the skin. Inflamed areas should be treated two to three times a day. The course of treatment directly depends on the condition of the skin and ranges from two to four days.

Powder is also used to eliminate burns. It is advisable to use it only if less than twenty percent are affected. The fact is that the active ingredients can enter the blood. Additionally, it should be noted that to date there are not a single registered case of overdose.

Treatment of baby skin with antibacterial powder

It is best to avoid using this drug if you have problems with the liver and kidneys. The composition contains toxic components that can worsen the functioning of these organs. Regular urine and blood tests will help prevent the development of a negative situation. Long-term use of the ointment increases the risk of developing a serious fungal infection. In this case, allergic rashes appear on the skin.

The powder helps babies in the healing of the umbilical area after childbirth. The wound heals quickly, and the likelihood of infection is noticeably reduced. As a rule, the first result can be detected within two days. It is advisable to use Baneocin in powder form to treat a weeping wound in which suppuration is already observed.

To achieve a positive effect, the composition must be applied to the navel area twice a day. The wound must first be washed with 3% hydrogen peroxide. After the process is completed, the remaining liquid is removed with a cotton swab or swab. Drying and tightening of the wound can be seen in a couple of days. The maximum duration of the course should not exceed five days. Only in rare cases is this period extended to a week.

With its help you can get rid of wounds, scratches, cuts and insect bites in a short time. Thanks to a simple powder, it is possible to speed up the healing process several times. In terms of its positive properties, the composition is in many ways ahead of traditional iodine and brilliant green. They are not recommended for use on a child's skin as they tend to irritate the skin surface. Baneocin is also recommended to be applied to areas with purulent lesions. Only in case of emergency is it permissible to cut out the boil with a scalpel.

During infancy, all children sweat actively. Against this background, diaper dermatitis may develop on the skin. For its treatment, many pediatricians prescribe Baneocin. The powder can be used instead of powder. Complete recovery directly depends on the preliminary condition and takes a period of four to ten days. The composition can also be used to eliminate the symptoms of prickly heat.

Baneocin should be in every mother's medicine cabinet

Instead of brilliant green during chickenpox, it is best to use Baneocin. It has proven its effectiveness and preserves the aesthetics of the skin. Regular use significantly reduces itching, and a scar is guaranteed not to form at the site where the vesicle resolves. In this case, the baby will not try to comb this area. The powder is suitable for treating not only children, but also adults.

Composition and action of Baneocin

Baneocin in powder form

Baneocin ointment and powder is a combined antibacterial substance intended for topical use. Contains 2 antibiotics:

• bacitracin is a polypeptide substance that prevents the synthesis of bacterial cells, especially effective against gram-positive organisms (staphylococci);
• neomycin is an aminoglycoside that destroys the protein membranes of bacterial cells and has a wide spectrum of action.

The use of two active components in the composition makes it possible to suppress up to 99% of the activity of all pathogenic microorganisms that can survive in the area of ​​the damaged umbilical fossa.

The ointment is used primarily for the treatment of skin diseases with purulent rashes. The powder is used for mechanical damage to the skin, for example, abrasions and scratches, as well as burns. It is the powder that is recommended for treating the navel.

Application rules and precautions

Instructions for use of Baneocin powder indicate different rules for applying the composition depending on the diagnosis.

Rules for using medicinal powder to heal an umbilical wound:

• It is first recommended to wash the wound with hydrogen peroxide 3%;
• use a cotton swab to dry the umbilical cavity;
• sprinkle with the healing composition.

The instructions note that only the problematic surface is treated with the powder in newborns in the morning and evening. In severe cases, the amount can be increased to 4 times a day.

The duration of treatment should not be more than five days. Usually the umbilical wound heals on the third day of treatment.

For diaper rash, the powder should be applied to the skin of a newborn in the following sequence:

1. Wash the problematic area of ​​skin with diaper rash with warm water, you can add a weak solution of potassium permanganate.
2. Blot any moisture with a towel.
3. Leave the baby without clothes for a while, the skin will dry completely and at the same time the benefits of the air bath will be obtained.
4. The affected area is treated directly with the healing composition.
5. You should wait a little for the powder to start working and only then can you put on diapers and clothes.

The use of powder for chickenpox replaces brilliant green. Only the healing of pustules occurs much faster and there are no green spots left on the body and clothes. The blisters heal quickly, and the spread of infection stops. The powder is applied to the blisters twice a day. As soon as the blisters crust over, treatment with Baneocin is stopped.

After spreading the powder on the damaged area, you can cover it with a gauze bandage to enhance the therapeutic effect. In the case of treatment of burns that occupy a large area on the body, one-time use per day is allowed. This number of times is enough to obtain the required dosage of the active ingredients.

If the dosage is exceeded (the maximum dose is 200 g of powder), the components included in Baneocin penetrate into the bloodstream in large quantities. The condition threatens to increase the toxic effects on the hearing organs and kidneys.

The instructions contain a warning about the duration of therapy. Treatment is continued until complete recovery and healing of the wounds, but not more than 7 days. If you treat skin inflammations with Baneocin for a long time, the risk of a fungal infection increases. If necessary, the course of treatment can be repeated after some time. The maximum daily dosage of powder in this case should not exceed 100 g.

Contraindication is individual intolerance to one of the components. Cannot be used for severe kidney disease and vestibular disorders. Baneocin can cause allergies, which manifest as rash, swelling, redness, burning and itching. During use, avoid penetration of the medicine onto the mucous surface and into the eyes.

If treatment with Baneocin is accompanied by an allergy, then discontinue drug therapy. In this case, you need to consult a specialist to obtain further recommendations.

Side effects may develop, especially in case of long-term use, as well as in the case of treating a large area with infection. Side effects from therapy include:

• allergic phenomena in the form of rash and itching;
• damage to the activity of the vestibular apparatus;
• hearing loss;
• impaired renal function;
• paralysis of the muscular system.

Caution should be used when treating with powder in the presence of blood diseases, muscle weakness and a predisposition to allergic reactions.

Drug interactions

In the presence of systemic absorption, Baneocin powder should not be prescribed together with cephalosporins. This restriction also applies to medication in the form of a cream. Failure to comply with this rule may provoke the development of a nephrotoxic reaction. The same side effects are likely when using the drug together with furosemide or ethacrynic acid.

Systemic absorption when using Baneocin cream with analgesics and anesthetics can lead to neuromuscular blockade. Therefore, before using antibacterial ointment, patients with chronic diseases should first consult a doctor. The specialist will tell you whether it is possible to combine individual medications.

How to use the drug correctly?

"Baneocin" is applied in a thin layer to damaged areas of the epidermis. This procedure can be performed up to three times a day.

Using the medication for liver and kidney diseases increases the likelihood of toxic reactions. Before treatment, it is necessary to undergo appropriate urine and blood tests.

1. Clean the surface of the skin with water or a certain product.
2. Apply the ointment pointwise to each area of ​​the inflamed epidermis.
3. In case of large acne localization, the ointment is applied in a thin layer, avoiding mucous cavities.
4. Leave until completely absorbed and dry.

If necessary, after a break you can repeat the course. The use of ointment helps reduce inflammatory areas and has a healing effect.

Pregnancy and lactation

Important to remember! Baneocin ointment has an antibiotic effect, due to which the drug is absorbed into the blood in small portions and allows it to penetrate to the fetus through the placenta, which does not help, but on the contrary, often has a harmful effect on the child.

If it is impossible to replace the ointment with an analogue, it is necessary to take some precautions - before starting the feeding procedure, the breasts must be cleared of ointment residues so that the product with milk does not enter the baby’s body.

Considering the above, the use of the drug during pregnancy or breastfeeding should be done with great caution, after consulting with your doctor in advance.

Compound

Baneocin is a local antibiotic. Its action is aimed at eliminating inflammation and rashes on the skin. The drug has an active antimicrobial effect.

The product penetrates deeply into the layers of the skin and actively fights inflammation and accelerates the process of tissue regeneration. The pronounced effect of Baneocin allows it to be used for cosmetic purposes for severe skin problems.

The main active ingredients are:

• neomycin (neomycin sulfate);
• bacitracin (bacitracin zinc).

Both components belong to the group of aminoglycosides. They complement and enhance each other's effectiveness. Their effect on pathogenic bacteria occurs at the protein level, which allows them to almost completely destroy the cause of inflammation.

Baneocin can be used for a long period of time without fear of addiction. Bacteria are not able to produce a strain for this antibiotic, which allows it to maintain its effectiveness.

Side effects

Most often, side effects develop due to hypersensitivity. Patients may experience allergic reactions in the form of skin itching and rash. Redness and dryness may occur in areas where the drug is applied. In most cases, the allergy occurs in the form of contact eczema and is completely eliminated when the drug is discontinued.

Long-term treatment with Baneocin may provoke the development of side effects. The composition of the medicine has an antibacterial base. It is worth remembering that the medication fights not only pathogenic microorganisms, but also beneficial ones. Therefore, it should be used no longer than 7 days. With long-term treatment, the risk of developing allergic reactions increases. Therapy can be carried out in several courses. In this case, repeated use is carried out in a reduced dosage.
