Minor cuts and abrasions: prevents infection and supports tissue repair on small traumatic lesions. Superficial burns: provides antibacterial protection to aid recovery of first‑degree burns. Post‑surgical wound care: helps prevent bacterial colonisation of minor incision sites.

Frequently asked questions

What is Maxibiotic used for?+
Maxibiotic is a topical antibiotic combination containing bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate. It is applied to the skin to treat or prevent bacterial infections such as impetigo, minor cuts, abrasions, superficial burns and small post‑surgical wound sites.
How does the active ingredient in Maxibiotic work?+
The three components act synergistically: bacitracin zinc blocks bacterial cell‑wall synthesis, neomycin sulfate interferes with protein synthesis by binding the 30S ribosomal subunit, and polymyxin B sulfate disrupts the cell membrane of Gram‑negative organisms. Together they provide broad‑spectrum antibacterial activity.
What is the usual dose of Maxibiotic?+
The specific amount, frequency and duration of Maxibiotic application are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the infection type, severity and patient characteristics. Users should follow the healthcare professional’s instructions and the product label.
Is Maxibiotic safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for topical use in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should be used only if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and under the guidance of a qualified healthcare provider.
How do I order Maxibiotic from GNH USA?+
Enquiries are submitted via the product page on gnh-usa.com, where you specify the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details (including any cold‑chain requirements) and import documentation.
How does Maxibiotic compare with other topical antibiotics?+
Compared with single‑agent preparations, Maxibiotic offers a broader spectrum because it combines three agents that target different bacterial mechanisms. This can be advantageous for mixed‑flora infections, but it may also increase the risk of local irritation relative to monotherapy products.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Maxibiotic?+
Store Maxibiotic at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep the container tightly closed, protect it from moisture, direct sunlight and excessive heat. Do not freeze or expose to extreme temperatures.
How is Maxibiotic applied?+
The product is applied topically to the affected skin area. Clean and gently dry the area, then spread a thin layer of the cream or ointment as directed by the prescriber, usually 1–3 times daily, covering only the intended site.
What are the most serious risks associated with Maxibiotic?+
Serious risks include allergic contact dermatitis, systemic hypersensitivity reactions such as anaphylaxis, and rare systemic toxicity (nephrotoxicity or ototoxicity) if large amounts are absorbed, especially on extensive or damaged skin.
Who should not use Maxibiotic?+
Individuals with a known hypersensitivity to bacitracin, neomycin, polymyxin B or any excipients in the formulation should avoid using Maxibiotic. It is also contraindicated on large, broken skin surfaces, mucous membranes, the eyes, ears or in patients with severe renal impairment without medical supervision.
