About Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc and its cost

What is this medication? Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc is a triple antibiotic medication used to prevent and treat minor skin infections caused by small cuts, scrapes, or burns. This topical ointment works by stopping the growth of certain bacteria that can enter the body through damaged skin. It is intended for external use only and provides a protective barrier while the wound heals.

The medication contains three different antibiotics that work together to provide broad-spectrum coverage against a variety of bacteria. Bacitracin Zinc, Neomycin, and Polymyxin B each target different parts of the bacterial cell, such as the cell wall or protein synthesis, to effectively neutralize the threat of infection. This combination is typically applied to the affected area one to three times daily as directed by a healthcare provider or product labeling.

Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc is made by Bausch Lomb. Like most brand-name drugs, it's priced at a high list price — but patients rarely pay that list price. The options above are the real paths most people use to get it affordably.

Common questions

What's the cheapest way to afford Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc?

It depends on your insurance. On Medicare, apply for the manufacturer's Patient Assistance Program (PAP) — it gives the drug free if you meet income requirements. With private insurance, the manufacturer copay card usually drops your copay to $0-$25. Uninsured patients should compare the PAP with Cost Plus Drugs cash price.

Can I use a copay card with Medicare for Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc?

No — federal law (the Anti-Kickback Statute) prohibits manufacturer copay cards on Medicare, Medicaid, TriCare, and VA prescriptions. But Bausch Lomb has a separate Patient Assistance Program for Medicare beneficiaries. Check the options above.

Does my Medicare Part D plan cover Neomycin and Polymyxin B Sulfates and Bacitracin Zinc?

Part D coverage varies by plan. We query the CMS Prescription Drug Plan file to show you what percentage of plans cover it and at what tier. For your exact copay, pick "Medicare" above and check your plan's Summary of Benefits, or log in to Medicare.gov.

How long does a Patient Assistance Program take?

Most PAPs take 2-6 weeks from application to first fill. Ask the manufacturer about a "bridge supply" — many will ship 30 days free while your application is being reviewed so you don't go without the drug.

What if I have a high-deductible plan?

For generics, Cost Plus Drugs cash price is often cheaper than your deductible-phase copay. For brand names, the manufacturer copay card almost always wins. A GoodRx coupon can be a last resort for uncovered drugs, but it doesn't count toward your deductible.

Are there charity grants for Blepharoconjunctivitis?

Charities like HealthWell Foundation, PAN Foundation, Good Days, and the National Organization for Rare Disorders provide copay help for specific conditions. Funds often run out mid-year — apply early. We list the specific grants for your condition in the options above.
