Polysporin is a line of antibiotic ointments produced by Johnson & Johnson used in the prevention of infection and speeding the healing of wounds. The original formulation contains bacitracin and polymyxin B.
In the United States, Polysporin is less popular[citation needed] than Neosporin which contains a third antibiotic, neomycin. In Canada, the "complete" version of Polysporin, which is known generically as "triple antibioitic ointment", contains gramicidin as the third antibiotic, and does not contain neomycin.[1]
