polymyxin can damage other living cell membranes, but since the top layer of your skin is composed of mostly dead, it's safe to use on it.

Polymixin b is better than polymixin e?

Polymyxin B and Polymyxin E (also known as Colistin) are both antibiotics used to treat infections caused by multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria. Polymyxin B is often preferred in clinical settings due to its more favorable pharmacokinetic profile, including better tissue penetration and lower nephrotoxicity compared to Colistin. Additionally, Polymyxin B has a more established safety profile and is less likely to cause neurotoxicity. Therefore, while both are effective, Polymyxin B is often considered the better option in certain therapeutic contexts.


Does Neomycin or Polymyxin B have penicillin in it?

Polymyxin B does not have penicillin in it, I just called my local pharmacy to ask that question and the answer is no. I should note, however, that the reason I called my pharmacist was because I used a topical ointment that contained Polymyxin B and had a very severe allergic reaction immediately after applying the ointment. I have anaphylaxis to penicillin and thought it may contain penicillin, but the pharmacist tells me it does not. He did advise me to go see my allergist again as I may have developed an allergy to another antibiotic but assured me there is no penicillin in Polymyxin B. Can't help with Neomycin, sorry!
