Comprehensive Drug Guide

How Does Recura Work?

  • Inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis: Bacitracin interferes with bacterial cell wall synthesis, which leads to cell death.
  • Disrupting bacterial cell membranes: Polymyxin B disrupts the integrity of bacterial cell membranes, resulting in increased permeability and cell lysis.

Common Dosages

  • Topical ointment: Common concentration is 500 units of bacitracin zinc and 10,000 units of polymyxin B sulfate per gram.

Typical Dosing

  • For topical application, apply a thin layer of Recura to the affected area 1 to 3 times daily, or as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to clean the area before application.

Typical Dosing

FDA Approved Indications

  • Prevention and treatment of superficial skin infections caused by susceptible strains of bacteria.

Who Shouldn't Take Recura?

  • Known hypersensitivity to bacitracin, polymyxin B, or any components of the formulation.
  • Open wounds or deep puncture wounds without consulting a healthcare provider.

Advice From The Pharmacist

  • Instruct patients to apply Recura to clean, dry skin and to cover the area with a sterile bandage if desired.
  • Advise patients to wash their hands thoroughly after applying the ointment to prevent unintentional contact with other areas of the body, especially the eyes.
  • Discuss potential side effects, including local irritation or allergic reactions, and encourage patients to report any severe or unusual symptoms.

Common Side Effects

  • Local irritation or redness
  • Itching or burning sensation at the application site

Risks and Warnings of Recura

  • Skin Reactions: Monitor for local skin reactions, especially in patients with sensitive skin or a history of allergies to topical antibiotics.
