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.

What is the difference between polysporin and neosporin?

Neosporin is an antibiotic with three components...neomycin sulfate, polymixin B sulfate and bacitracin. If this combination is in ointment form, many times you will find it called "triple antibiotic ointment" or it's Trade name, Neomycin. Polysporin is a combination of two antibiotics, bacitracin zinc and polymixin B sulfate. By combining the three antibiotics, one may treat or prevent a wider range of bacterial infections. For more information see the Related Link. If you are allergic to penicillan, you should use Polysporin, instead of Neosporin to avoid potential hives.

Are canker sores a form of herpes?

The lesions caused by herpes are commonly known as 'cold sores'."Canker sores" are small ulcers on the inside of the mouth, including gums, tongue and inside of the lips. They are caused by an auto-immune condition that may in turn be caused by a virus that you get by age 5. They are often triggered by stress or small bites in the mouth. They will go away by themselves within 4-14 days.There are various remedies that may help reduce the pain of canker sores and increase healing. These include cleaning with an oral agent (like Glyoxyl). You can also try diluted hydrogen peroxide or salt water. Vitamin B complex may help.Another remedy is a steroid called Kenalog.
