Please do not merge. Many people have negative reactions to Neosporin, which contains Neomycin in combination with Bacitracin. Neomycin is NOT included in Polysporin which is the plus for Polysporin. Dogs should never have Neomycin, thus Polysporin is safe for them. Plastic surgeons have often recommended heavy use of Polysporin to decrease scaring in addition to infection prevention. Multi-antibiotic ointments are not all the same when they contain different antibiotics.

Hi, health care workers like Mois (this IS a Canadian product and so we must include Francais), use wikipedia to find out what is in it when the patient comes to our clinic and says I got sick or got a rash from ______ . Can keep as separate pages? When in Canada i thought it was Neosporin until now when I read wiki. |

Merge with Neosporin
Definately not. They are different products. The Polysporin sold in Canada has different ingredients (and is much less effective. i.e. has significantly less active antibiotics / ingredients) then the Neosporin sold in the USA . It would be beneficial to the community to be able to research each of them as the different products (and brand names) that they are. I had to ask a pharmacist what the difference was. I noticed no significant benefit using Polysporin where as Neosporin provided significant improvement. It would be similar to suggesting we should combine a page on Coca Cola with a page on Pepsi... The difference being at least Coca Cola and Pepsi are both cola's... Im not even sure what Polysporin should be classed as...mperhaps soothing ointment,.. It has so little active ingredients (antibiotics) that it shouldn't be classed as an antibiotic ointment. I guess this is because health canada has banned the over the counter sale of Neosporin (read antibiotic ointments).. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flyingfishsoup (talk • contribs) 20:33, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
