A member asked:
Is neosporin cream (neomycin and polymyxin b) as effective for infections as reguloar neosporin?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: This only comes in a topical form, either ointment or cream and should not be taken any other way. It is a combination of bacitracin, neomycin and polymyxin b, each of which can have severe toxicity if taken internally.
