Pregnancy Interaction
 

• Pregnancy: There is scant human data about the topical application of framycetin during pregnancy. It is typically thought to be low-risk to use on tiny regions for a short time because systemic absorption through undamaged skin is limited.
• Do not use on big regions, broken skin, or for a lengthy time without talking to a doctor first.
• Breastfeeding: Safe if you don't put it on the breast area. Do not use on nipples that are cracked.

Expert advice

• Only use on skin that is damaged, not on skin that is healthy.
• Unless told to, don't cover with dressings that seal tightly.
• Don't put it near your eyes or inside your nose, mouth, or ears.
• If you get red, irritated, or allergic, stop using it.
• Don't use it for longer than the recommended time because using topical antibiotics for too long can make bacteria resistant or produce a superinfection.
• For optimal results, gently clean the area that needs to be treated before using it.

Side effects

• Redness in the area
• Skin discomfort or rash
• Feeling itchy or burning
• Lack of moisture
• Not often:
• Reactions to allergies
• Fungal infection that comes after long-term use

How It Works

• Framycetin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic, is in Soframax.
• It kills bacteria by attaching to their ribosomes and stopping the production of proteins.
• This inhibits bacteria from growing and makes infections, redness, and swelling less likely.

Medications interaction

• Topical framycetin doesn't go into the body very much; therefore, interactions are unusual.
• But:
• Without a doctor's permission, don't use other topical antibiotics (such as neomycin or gentamicin) on the same region.
• Don't mix with steroid creams unless your doctor tells you to.
• Do not use this with other antiseptics on the same location because it could make them less effective or cause irritation.

How to Use

• Make sure the area that was impacted is clean and dry.
• Put a small layer of cream on 2–3 times a day, or as directed.
• Don't rub hard.
• Wash your hands after using it unless your hands are the region that was treated.
• Even if your symptoms get better quickly, keep taking the medicine as directed.

Uses/indication

• Skin diseases caused by bacteria
• Small cuts, scrapes, and wounds
• Dermatitis or eczema that is infected
• Burns that are infected
• Infections of wounds after surgery
