DIY Cortisporin Ointment

Video explaining how to create a biosimilar ointment to prescription cortisporin using over-the-counter neosporin and over-the-counter hydrocortisone ointment. For more information:

All components can be purchased on Amazon:

Do keep in mind that although this DIY cortisporin ointment has identical active ingredients to the prescription version, the actual amounts/concentration are slightly different (DIY is a bit weaker).

Each gram of DIY vs Rx cortisporin ointment contains:
• neomycin 1.75mg vs 3.5mg - DIY has 50% less than Rx
• polymyxin B 5000 units vs 5000 units - the same
• bacitracin 250 units vs 400 units - DIY has ~40% less than Rx
• hydrocortisone 5mg (0.5%) vs 10mg (1%) - DIY has 50% less than Rx

As a disclaimer, what you are doing above is compounding a new medication and falls under the guidelines for section 503A of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. As such, this compounding should only be done by a licensed pharmacist or physician.

I just squeeze a little of one on my index finger, a little of the other on my middle finger and apply them both onto the affected area.
