Medicine Description bivacyn
bivacyn spray 150ml is a medication that employs a combination of Neomycin and Polymyxin to combat bacterial infections on the skin. Neomycin functions by binding to the 30S ribosomal subunit of susceptible bacteria, effectively inhibiting protein synthesis, which is crucial for bacterial growth and reproduction. This action leads to a bactericidal effect against a broad range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria. Polymyxin, on the other hand, disrupts the integrity of the bacterial cell membrane of Gram-negative organisms, causing leakage of essential cellular components. Together, these antibiotics effectively prevent the proliferation of bacteria, thereby reducing the risk of infection and promoting a conducive environment for healing minor skin injuries.
