About Neowal Dusting Powder

Neowal Dusting Powder belongs to a combination of medicines called antibiotics primarily used in the treatment of various bacterial infections of the skin associated with wounds, cuts, ulcers, burns and umbilical cord dressing. Bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria grow in the body and cause infection. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Neowal Dusting Powder does not work against infections caused by viruses and fungus.

Neowal Dusting Powder is a combination of three antibiotics, namely:  Neomycin, Bacitracin and Sulphacetamide. Neomycin works by inhibiting the production of essential proteins that are necessary for bacteria to grow, multiply and increase in numbers, thereby preventing the growth of bacteria. Bacitracin works by inhibiting the formation of bacterial cell walls that are essential for their survival as they prevent the entry of unwanted substances into the cells and stop the leakage of cell contents. Sulphacetamide works by preventing the production of folic acid (a nutrient) by bacteria, which is essential for the multiplication of bacteria. Thereby, Neowal Dusting Powder kills bacteria and clears the infection.
