Uses of Bestosulf Dusting Powder

Benefits of Bestosulf Dusting Powder

Bacterial skin infections
Bestosulf Powder is a combination medicine which works by stopping the growth of infection causing bacteria on your skin. It stops the growth of the infection causing bacteria and also prevents their multiplication. This treatment has few common side effects and should clear up infections within a few days, but you should keep using it for as long as it is prescribed.

Side effects of Bestosulf Dusting Powder

Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
Common side effects of Bestosulf
  • Application site reactions (burning, irritation, itching and redness)

How to use Bestosulf Dusting Powder

This medicine is for external use only. Use this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Check the label for directions before use. Clean and dry the affected area before application and do not rub.

How Bestosulf Dusting Powder works

Bestosulf Powder is a combination of three antibiotics: Sulphacetamide, Neomycin and Bacitracin. Sulphacetamide stops bacteria from producing folic acid, a nutrient required for bacterial multiplication. Neomycin stops bacterial growth by preventing the synthesis of essential proteins required by the bacteria to carry out vital functions. Bacitracin works by preventing the formation of the bacterial protective covering, thereby killing the bacteria. Together, they treat your infection effectively.

No, do not overuse Bestosulf Powder for long periods or on large areas of skin. It can result in too much medicine being absorbed into the body.
