Clear skin / Acne remedies / Other remedies / Does Baneocin help with acne?
In the struggle for healthy skin, people are divided into two camps. Some prefer traditional medicine recipes. Others trust pharmaceutical drugs, among which “Baneocin” for acne on the face enjoys stable popularity .
The product is produced by the Austrian pharmaceutical concern Sandoz GmbH in the form of ointment and powder.
It has a minimum of contraindications and has an effective effect on acne, boils, and purulent rashes.
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.
The ointment includes such auxiliary elements as paraffin and lanolin, powder - starch containing up to 2% magnesium oxide. The product is available in tubes of 20 g and jars of 10 g.
The medicine is positioned as a drug with an antibacterial effect for the treatment of weeping and dry wounds of infectious and non-infectious origin.
Antibacterial substances in the composition have a bactericidal effect. They inhibit the synthesis of bacterial membranes and proteins, which leads to their death. The product is effective against streptococci and staphylococci, as well as some gram-negative bacteria.
Thanks to the combination of two antibiotics, a wide spectrum of drug activity is achieved against a number of pathogenic microorganisms. However, the medicine has many contraindications and the risk of side effects. Overdose is also possible.

Instructions for use of Baneocin (Method and dosage)
Baneocin powder, instructions for use
The drug in powder form is indicated for use 2-4 times a day with a thin layer of it on the affected skin areas.
In the case of treating burns that occupy more than 20% of the patient’s body surface, the powder can be used only once every 24 hours, especially if the patient has reduced renal function (due to the possible absorption of active ingredients into the systemic circulation).
When used topically, the maximum daily dosage of neomycin can be 1 gram, which corresponds to the use of 200 grams of powder per week. A repeated therapeutic course requires reducing the weekly maximum dosage by half (up to 100 grams).
Baneocin ointment, instructions for use
The drug in the form of an ointment is allowed for use 2-3 times a day, for which Baneocin ointment is applied in a thin layer to the affected areas of the skin. You can practice applying ointment under the bandage .
It is possible to use the ointment in the postoperative period as an additional therapeutic agent. Application of the drug directly to bandages is preferable in the case of local treatment of infected wounds and cavities (including surgical scars healed by secondary intention and bacterial infections of the external auditory canal without damage to the eardrum ).
Research and effectiveness
The journal Acta Biomedica Scientifica published an article “Experience of using the drug Baneocin in the treatment of infected wounds, burns and trophic ulcers.” The author O.A. Buslaev, head of the surgical department, observed 50 patients with purulent-inflammatory skin infections who used Baneocin 2-3 times a day.
Based on the study, the author claims that the effectiveness of treatment with Baneocin is higher than standard therapy. The product was recommended for implementation in everyday practice due to its unique composition, the possibility of use at different stages of the disease and a convenient release form in two versions.
Interaction
If systemic absorption of the active ingredients of the drug is possible, parallel use of aminoglycosides or cephalosporins increases the risk of nephrotoxic phenomena .
The combined administration of Baneocin with Furosemide or Ethacrynic acid increases the possibility of nephrotoxic and ototoxic reactions.
With observed systemic absorption, the combined use of Baneocin with muscle relaxants , anesthetics and opioid analgesics can lead to the development of neuromuscular blockade .
cases of incompatibility of neomycin and bacitracin with other medications.
special instructions
In the case of using dosages of Baneocin that significantly exceed the recommended ones, due to the possible absorption of its active ingredients, it is necessary to pay attention to negative symptoms that may indicate ototoxic or nephrotoxic reactions.
Due to the increased risk of toxic effects in patients with observed / kidney pathologies, urine and blood together with audiometric studies , both before the start of therapy and during treatment .
If during therapy the possibility of absorption of the active ingredients of the drug is allowed (in case of extensive skin damage), then there is a need to control the possible formation of symptoms of neuromuscular blockade , especially in patients with myasthenia , other neuromuscular pathologies , as well as acidosis . If neuromuscular blockade it is recommended to prescribe neostigmine calcium supplements .
Long-term use of Baneocin requires monitoring for a possible excessive increase in the number of resistant microorganisms , sometimes with the need to prescribe appropriate therapy.
Long-term use of Baneocin for the treatment of children with liver / kidney , as well as the use of the drug to treat large areas of skin, must be previously agreed with a doctor.
If superinfection or allergic manifestations , Baneocin therapy should be discontinued.
