Precaution

It is to be noted that this Ointment is not intended for sterile use in surgical procedures such as those involving abdominal or thoracic cavities as there is evidence that neomycin, when in contact with peritoneal or pleural tissues, can potentiate neuromuscular block in patients under the influence of muscle relaxants, producing respiratory paralysis. As with other antibiotic preparations prolonged use may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms. Ototoxicity to neomycin has been reported. In neonates and infants, absorption by immature skin may be enhanced and renal function may be immature.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding use

There is little information to demonstrate the possible effect of topically applied neomycin in pregnancy and lactation. However, neomycin present in maternal blood can cross the placenta and may give rise to a theoretical risk of foetal toxicity, thus this ointment is not recommended in pregnancy and lactation.

Contraindication

This ointment should not be used in individuals who have shown sensitivity to any of the components. A possibility of increased absorption exists in very young children, thus this ointment is not recommended for use in neonates.

Storage Condition

Store below 30˚C. Keep all medicine out of reach of children.
