Almost every person is faced with the problem of problematic skin, which manifests itself in the form of acne and other inflammatory formations on the skin. Very often, such a defect causes a large number of unpleasant sensations and reduces the normal course of life.
When acne occurs, it is necessary to carry out special treatment, which does not easily mask inflammation on the epidermis, but also eliminates the cause of its occurrence. Experts very often prescribe Baneocin for acne.
The use of the complex substance Baneocin allows you to quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms and cleanse human skin. The drug is designed specifically for the care of problem skin and allows you to eliminate the most complex types of skin defects.
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 bacterial protein synthesis . 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 is very rarely formed).
The synergism (combined action) 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.
General description of Baneocin
Baneocin is a product for external use, which is available in the form of ointment and powder. The two dosage forms are distinguished by the method of application and the content of excipients in the composition. There are two antibiotics as the main active components - bacitracin and neomycin.
