Pharmacy - antibiotics


Expert: Eric Brandt - 1/25/2004

Question
Eric, first thanks for your "caplet" letter, it is very informative.  There have been several things on tv news recently about over use of antibiotics.  Does this also apply to things like Neosporin and polysporin?  I probably use these two or three times a week. Thanks

Answer
Hi Milt,
Over use, and misuse of antibiotics regardless if they are topical or systemic can lead to antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Why are you using these creams so frequently?
Thank you for using Allexperts
