Neomycin Sulfate

---

Where is Neomycin Sulfate found?

Neomycin sulfate is an antibiotic commonly used in many prescription and over-the-counter antibacterial topical creams, powders and ointments, eye drops, and vaginal suppositories. It is also commonly found in dental and veterinary care products. Cross-reactivity may occur to other related aminoglycoside antibiotics, such as kanamycin, tobramycin, framycetin, gentamicin, amikacin, and streptomycin. There is also a high rate cosensitivity to bacitracin and the most conservative approach is to avoid all of these medicaments if you are allergic to neomycin.
