T Bact Ointment is a novel topical antibiotic used to treat skin infection 'impetigo' caused by bacteria, namely Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly.

T Bact Ointment works by stopping the production of proteins needed for bacterial surveillance. It is also active against Gram-negative organisms such as Escherichia coli and Haemophilus influenza. However, it is not effective against fungal or viral infections and should not be applied to burnt skin areas and open-cut wounds.

T Bact Ointment should only be used if your doctor advises you to do so.  It is not recommended for children below 2 months of age. T Bact Ointment should be used for skin only, and if it accidentally gets into your eye, mouth, or nose, rinse with water. T Bact Ointment should be applied to the affected area with a piece of clean cotton wool or gauze swab. T Bact Ointment should not be applied more than the recommended dose, to avoid unpleasant side effects. Also, the course should be completed even if you feel better, as it is an antibiotic. Some common side effects of T Bact Ointment are burning, itching, redness, stinging and dryness on your skin in the place where T Bact Ointment is applied. Sensitive allergic reactions (skin hypersensitivity reactions) like rashes, itching, swelling, and shortness of breath can occur in rare cases. Please consult your doctor if an allergic reaction becomes severe.

Tell your doctor if you are known to be allergic to T Bact Ointment or any other medicines. It is not known whether T Bact Ointment harms the baby or passes into breast milk. It is better to contact a doctor before using T Bact Ointment during pregnancy and while breastfeeding.

Your skin is your body’s largest organ. Its aim is to protect your body against infection. The skin itself occasionally gets infected. Bacterial skin infections frequently begin as tiny, red bumps that increase in size slowly. A wide variety of germs cause skin infections, and symptoms can range from mild to severe. With over-the-counter medications and home remedies, mild infections may be treatable, while other infections may need medical attention.
