Is this the same as Neosporin?

It uses the same three active ingredients: bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate. It is a store-brand-style alternative, not the Neosporin brand.

Can I use it on burns?

It is labeled for minor burns, cuts and abrasions. Do not use it on serious burns, deep wounds or puncture wounds; see a doctor for those.

What if I'm allergic to neomycin?

Stop using it and talk to a pharmacist. Neomycin is a common cause of contact allergy, and bacitracin-only ointments are an alternative.

How often should I apply it?

Follow the tube directions, typically a small amount up to three times a day on clean skin. Cover with a bandage if needed.

Is it good for a first aid kit?

Yes. The 1 oz tube fits standard kits, and single-use packets are better for bags and travel.
