Neosporin (from neo, (Greek) new + sporos, (Greek) seed) is an antibiotic product marketed for the prevention of infections and speeding the healing of wounds.
Concern exists that the use of Neosporin contributes to the emergence of antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In the US, the only large market for Neosporin, the ointment has been shown to promote the prevalence of MRSA bacteria,[1] specifically the highly lethal ST8:USA300strain.[2]
The original ointment contains three different antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B, in a relatively low-molecular-weight patented base of cocoa butter, cottonseed oil, sodium pyruvate, tocopheryl acetate, and petroleum jelly.
The generic name for these products, regardless of the base, is "triple antibiotic ointment". In China, this product is called "complex polymyxin B ointment," which is manufactured by Zhejiang Reachall Pharmaceutical. The product was also marketed by the Upjohn Company under the name "Mycitracin", until 1997 when that name was acquired by Johnson & Johnson.[3]
Some people have allergic reactions to neomycin, so a "double antibiotic ointment" is sold that contains only bacitracin and polymyxin B, such as the cobrand Polysporin.
A "Plus" variant of the ointment exists that adds the analgesic pramoxine, but uses the cheap, simple, long-lasting, but heavier petroleum jelly base common to many over-the-counter topicals. The latest version of this, a high-absorption cream, removes the bacitracin, which is unstable in such a base, but keeps the analgesic.
Only if your dog has licked your neosporin.
If you have minor burn then you can use Neosporin on it. But when the burned area is large and severe then one should not use Neosporin. The Neosporin is only applied to the external areas.
The antibiotics which interfere with the activity of Neosporin are the antibiotics broken down in the liver. They render any effects Neosporin on the body useless.
If your bulldog has an open cut, then peroxide and Neosporin will do the trick.
If you eat neosporin it is toxic to humans and can cause seizures as well as heart failure.
No. Neosporin contains a mixture of three antibiotics: bacitracin, neomycin, and polymyxin B.

If you apply Neosporin on your weal/welt caused by ringworm it will keep it dry which is a good thing. Neosporin doesn't help getting completely rid of ringworm but it does help. To get rid of ringworm you need an anti-fungus cream for ringworm is a fungus growing on your skin.
That is correct.
