Description

Neomycin-Bacitracin-Polymxin B Ophthalmic Ointment 3.5g is a specialized ophthalmic ointment formulated to treat bacterial infections of the eye. This medication combines neomycin sulfate, bacitracin zinc, and polymyxin B sulfate, each serving distinct roles in combating bacterial pathogens.

Neomycin sulfate and polymyxin B sulfate are antibiotics that work synergistically to inhibit bacterial growth by disrupting their protein synthesis and cell membrane integrity, respectively. Bacitracin zinc complements their action by interfering with bacterial cell wall synthesis, collectively targeting a broad spectrum of bacteria responsible for ocular infections.

The ointment's formulation ensures effective delivery and retention on the surface of the eye, facilitating prolonged contact time to enhance therapeutic efficacy. It is indicated for conditions such as conjunctivitis and other superficial ocular infections caused by susceptible bacteria. Patients typically apply a small amount of ointment directly to the affected eye(s) several times a day as prescribed by a healthcare provider.
