Product category: Skin Care
Active ingredient: Framycetin sulphate 1% w/w
Dosage form: Topical antibacterial cream
Use: External skin use only
Soframycin cream contains framycetin, an aminoglycoside antibiotic for selected bacterial skin infections, including certain superficial infected wounds and minor burns. It is not a treatment for fungal infections or routine cosmetic skin concerns. Clinical appropriateness depends on the condition and patient.
Framycetin interferes with bacterial protein synthesis. Antibiotics should only be used when a bacterial infection is suspected or confirmed and the product is appropriate for the affected site.
Reference product information lists selected bacterial skin infections and superficial infected cuts, boils and burns. Significant wounds, spreading redness, fever, deep infection or worsening pain should prompt medical evaluation, rather than self-treatment.
Clean the affected area as professionally advised and follow the exact packaging directions. Avoid contact with eyes and use in the ear unless specifically directed by an appropriate clinician. Do not continue unnecessarily for prolonged periods.
Local stinging, rash, sensitization or allergic reactions can occur. Framycetin is related to other aminoglycoside antibiotics, so cross-sensitivity is possible. Extensive use on damaged skin or open wounds may increase systemic absorption and potential hearing or kidney toxicity. Pregnancy, infancy, significant kidney impairment or extensive skin injury require particular care.
Explore the Skin Care category and Ebernet antifungal information to understand that bacterial and fungal conditions require different treatments. Confirm the diagnosis before selecting an antibiotic.
Soframycin abridged prescribing information: indications and precautions
It is a topical antibiotic used for certain minor bacterial skin infections and infected cuts under appropriate medical guidance.
No. Framycetin is an aminoglycoside antibiotic and does not treat fungal infections.
It is not a standard first-line acne treatment. A dermatologist can recommend treatments specific to acne.
Some product information includes minor superficial burns, but serious, extensive or deep burns require prompt medical care.
Follow the actual product leaflet or clinician instructions; do not apply more frequently than directed.
Yes. Local irritation, redness or allergic contact reactions are possible.
Do not use on large, deep or extensive damaged areas without medical supervision because systemic absorption and aminoglycoside toxicity are concerns.
Discuss use with a clinician. Aminoglycosides have potential fetal risks with significant systemic exposure.
Do not use in the eyes or ear canal without specialist instructions; use with a perforated eardrum can be dangerous.
Use only for the recommended course; prolonged or unnecessary antibiotic use can increase sensitization and resistance risk.
