The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of treating bacterial load in a wound using topical, compounded, prescription antibiotics. Using evidence-based guidelines, we sought to learn whether prescription compounded antibiotics were effective for the care of wounds, whether adverse effects were associated with their use, and whether their use is cost-effective. We also sought to evaluate the outcomes of topical, compounded, prescription antibiotics in clinical practice. Based on the results of our study, we conclude that topical, compounded, prescription antibiotic therapy for wounds are easy to use, cost-effective, and effective in bacterial load suppression or eradication, which can allow wounds to successfully heal faster with reduced patient discomfort.
