A family of
over the counter (non-
prescription)
antibiotic ointments, drops,
etc. The ointment is good for using on
cuts or
scratches to help them
heal faster, while drops are useful for eye or ear infections such as
pink eye.
Based on Polymyxin.
In general, it's not a good idea to use antibiotics too often, since this reduces their future effectiveness. However, I believe Polysporin is a relatively weak one and isn't overly dangerous.
