BNP (C)

This document summarizes a drug study of BNP Ointment, an antibiotic ointment containing neomycin sulfate, polymyxin B sulfate, and bacitracin. It is used to treat bacterial skin infections such as impetigo. The ointment works by preventing inflammation and controlling bacterial growth. Potential side effects include allergic reactions, skin sensitization with prolonged use, and increased systemic absorption if covered by tight dressings. Nurses should carefully examine the infection site, apply the ointment sparingly without covering with tight dressings, and monitor for signs of irritation or infection.
