Editorial board Bacitracin - Chemical Structure
More specifically, bacitracin is used in combination with other active ingredients in the treatment of intestinal infections (oral administration) and in the treatment of skin infections (topical administration).
Bacitracin-based medicinal products suitable for oral administration (tablets), in order to be dispensed, require a repeatable medical prescription. In contrast, bacitracin-based topical medicines (skin cream and powder) are over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, therefore, they are allowed free sale.
