Generic Name: Bacitracin/Hydrocortisone/Neomycin/Polymyxin Ointment (BAS-i-TRAY-sin/HYE-droe-KOR-ti-sone/NEE-oh-MYE-sin/POL-ee-MIX-in)

Cortisporin Ointment is used for:

Treating steroid-sensitive skin disorders that have a secondary infection caused by bacteria.

Cortisporin Ointment is a combination of 3 antibiotics and a corticosteroid. The antibiotics kill the bacteria and hydrocortisone reduces inflammation.

Do NOT use Cortisporin Ointment if:

you are allergic to any ingredient in Cortisporin Ointment
you have a fungal (eg, ringworm), viral (eg, herpes simplex, chickenpox), or tuberculosis (TB) infection of the skin

Contact your doctor or health care provider right away if any of these apply to you.

Before using Cortisporin Ointment:

Some medical conditions may interact with Cortisporin Ointment. Tell your doctor or pharmacist if you have any medical conditions, especially if any of the following apply to you:

if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding

if you have allergies to medicines, foods, or other substances
if you have recently received or will be receiving a vaccine, or you have had a positive TB skin test
