What form(s) does this medication come in?

How should I use this medication?

Absorption: This medication may be absorbed in significant amounts if it is used over exceptionally large areas of the body.

Contact your doctor at once if you experience signs of an allergic reaction, such as skin rash, itching, difficulty breathing or swelling of the face and throat.

What other drugs could interact with this medication?
There are no significant drug interactions with framycetin sulfate, except in the unlikely case that over 30% of your body surface area is covered with the dressing. Talk to your doctor about potential drug interactions in such a case.
Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications that you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them. Depending on your specific circumstances, your doctor may want you to:
stop taking one of the medications,
change one of the medications to another,
change how you are taking one or both of the medications, or
leave everything as is.
An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.
