What Is CVS Health Antibiotic Ointment?
Antibiotics are medicines used to fight some types of bacterial infections. CVS Health antibiotic ointment is a thick cream you can apply to an injury to aid its healing. CVS triple antibiotic and pain relief ointment helps fight infection while soothing pain using a combination of active antibiotics, such as bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate, along with an analgesic. For extra pain relief, choose a maximum-strength product. In addition to applying antibiotic ointment, you can use wound wash, wipes, gels and sprays to help combat infection.
How to Apply CVS Health Antibiotic Ointment
Always read the label before you use an antibiotic ointment. You may first need to wash the area and remove blood, dirt and debris to avoid irritating the injury. You can usually rub the ointment onto the area with your finger, taking care not to exceed the correct dosage. To keep the cut or scrape protected, you may be able to cover it with a sterile bandage, but avoid covering burns.
