What chain pharmacies never explain.
A minor cut or scrape is not a serious injury, but without the right intervention in the first few minutes, it can become one. The skin is the body's primary barrier against bacterial invasion. When that barrier is broken, bacteria that live harmlessly on the skin surface gain direct access to tissue that has no natural defense against them.
Neosporin contains three antibiotic agents that cover different bacterial targets. Neomycin handles gram negative bacteria and Staphylococcus. Polymyxin B handles gram negative bacteria including Pseudomonas. Bacitracin handles gram positive bacteria including streptococcal species. The three together provide broad spectrum coverage that no single antibiotic can match. The petroleum base also creates a moist wound environment, which clinical research consistently shows accelerates healing compared to dry wound management.
The one thing Dr. Mike wants you to know: approximately 5 to 10% of people have a contact sensitivity to neomycin. The signal is redness, swelling, or increased itching around the wound (not in it) after application. If you have ever had a reaction to Neosporin, you can use bacitracin only ointment as an alternative.
The biggest mistake I see with wound care is using too much Neosporin or not cleaning the wound first. The antibiotic ointment's job is to prevent infection in a clean wound. It cannot decontaminate a dirty one. Step one is always cleaning. Rinse with clean running water, remove visible debris, then apply a thin layer of Neosporin. Watch the margins. Red spreading outward, warmth, increasing pain after 24 to 48 hours, or pus, those are signs of active infection that need clinical attention.

Questions, answered.
How is this different from the brand on the same shelf?
Where we stock the brand name (Neosporin, CeraVe, Lamisil, etc.), the medicine is identical. Our price is what changes. Where a category has equally effective generic active ingredients, the FDA bioequivalence standard guarantees the same active ingredient at the same dose. The pharmacist context on every product page is the part you cannot get at a chain.
How soon will my order ship?
Orders ship within 1 to 2 business days from our pharmacy in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. You'll receive a tracking number once your package leaves the pharmacy. Free shipping on orders over $50. Defense Kit purchases skip the $50 minimum entirely.
What is your return policy?
Unopened products in their original sealed packaging can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. For safety reasons, opened skincare and wound care products are not returnable. If something arrives damaged or incorrect, contact us within 7 days and we'll make it right.
Can I use this with my prescription medications or topical Rx?
Most OTC skin and wound products are compatible with prescription topicals, but the order and timing of application matter. Steroid creams, retinoids, and prescription antifungals each have their own rules. For any combination involving prescriptions, please call us at the pharmacy for a free consultation. No appointment, no hold music.
Is this safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Most products in this collection are safe in pregnancy and breastfeeding when used as directed on small skin surface areas. Exceptions include hydrocortisone over large areas, terbinafine (Lamisil) during pregnancy, and selenium sulfide (Selsun Blue) on the scalp. Before ordering during pregnancy or breastfeeding, please request a free pharmacist consultation.
