Is this the same as generic triple-antibiotic ointment?

The active ingredients are the same: bacitracin zinc, neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate. Generics usually cost less; Neosporin adds its HeliDerm base and brand consistency.

Can I use it on burns?

It is labeled for minor burns, cuts and scrapes. Do not use it on deep or large burns, blisters, animal bites or puncture wounds; see a doctor for those.

How often should I apply it?

Apply a small amount to the affected area up to three times a day. Cover with a bandage if needed, and stop if redness or irritation spreads.

Is it safe for children?
