Q A

Q. Can I stop taking Nebaskin Powder when my symptoms are relieved?::: No, do not stop taking Nebaskin Powder. Complete the full course of treatment even if you feel better.

What are the precautions needed to be taken while using Nebaskin Powder?::: Nebaskin Powder should not be used on the face. Do not use the medication for longer than the advised periods of time. Do not apply a bandage or dressing to the area being treated, as this will increase absorption of the preparation and increase the risk of side effects. This medicine should only be used by the patient and never be given to other people even if their condition appears to be the same.| Q. Can I overuse Nebaskin Powder?::: No, do not overuse Nebaskin Powder for long periods or on large areas of skin. It can result in too much medicine being absorbed into the body. This may lead to thinning or weakening of the skin and other serious side effects. If you are experiencing increased severity of your symptoms, please consult your doctor for re-evaluation.| Q.

How It Works

Nebaskin Powder is a combination of three antibiotics: Sulphacetamide, Neomycin and Bacitracin. Sulphacetamide stops bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Neomycin stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Bacitracin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, thereby killing the bacteria. Together, they treat your infection effectively.
